Craftsman Entry Door

Give your home a warm, lasting first impression with this Craftsman-style entry door woodworking plan. Inspired by the timeless principles of the Arts & Crafts movement, this classic design emphasizes clean lines, solid proportions, and understated elegance—making it a perfect fit for traditional or modern homes alike.

Built from solid wood, this 36" x 80" door combines beauty with durability. Thoughtfully designed for real-world use, it accounts for the expansion, contraction, and wear caused by changing weather conditions.
