In the whole course of our manufacture we use about one hundred different kinds of wood, emanating from all parts of the world. Brazil's ' ' contributions in the past have been few, notably Rosewood, Tulipwood, Kingwood, and Pernambuco \\'ood, but these have been long and favorably known.

  • Door Selections Sophisticated
    “It’s wonderful where the door isn’t just something that leads you between places, but is something unto itself.” —Dan Kershaw, The Metropolitan Museum of Art Door Selections Sophisticated. Unique. Inviting. John and Thad Walton know the beauty and warmth of wood. They founded a small building materials company in the upper Midwest over 30 years ago. There they developed expertise in doors and wood finishing, and built a successful company founded on the quality of their work. Years later, when they conceived of a custom wood door company, they wanted it to be different than any other company—a company with the ability to create magnificent designs, to meet the desires of the most discerning clients; a company with an extensive offering of hardwoods, including rare and exotic woods; and, a company offering myriad customization details and options, creating truly unique products for the country’s most exclusive homes. Founded in 1998 in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Sun Mountain is that company. With a process that merges Old World craftsmanship with modern woodworking technology, Sun Mountain produces custom wood doors of the absolute highest quality. Sun Mountain doors are available in the broadest selection of designs and materials available. And, the company continues its founders’ legacy as master wood finishers, with a wide collection of luxurious stains and hand-applied glazes, or custom color matching to taste. Enjoy the journey to find the wood door you have been seeking. The wood door that reflects your unique style, that conveys sophistication, a warmth and comfort—that makes your house a home.

Next came finish selection. Rustic alder is offered in seven base stains, ranging from light Natural to deep and dark Coffee. But the homeowners wanted the most distinctive personality available, so they chose one of the hand-crafted Vintage offerings for the ultimate in one-of-a-kind character. To create dramatic contrasts, Charcoal was specified for select areas — crown moldings, one of the two islands, and the new accent cabinet above the sink.
