Paired doors with 57 parts per door. All the parts are fit together with machined tenons and coped joints to insure structural integrity for decades. 2-1/4" thickness keeps these doors warm and energy efficient as well as contributing to stabilty and the overall feeling of quality.

Acorn Woodworks is working on the new website – and learning how to keep it current and relevant. We will be adding more pictures and information about our work over the next few days – and next few years. So be sure to check back.

There is plenty of space to roam around and discover things. Your comments are invited and welcome on both the site and the content.

Serpentine Staircase

Serpentine Staircase

A serpentine Walnut staircase is finished off on site. This stair features two diminishing curves, in opposite directions. Each curve is a segment of an ellipse in plan.

Curved staircases are complex, therefore built in the shop, under controlled conditions. When complete, we dismantle the staircase for transport & installation.

This Paneled Wall section will match the historic panels from 1914. Some of the curves are compound curves - curving in plan and elevation
