That is what I call a wildlife carving

Holy Geesum… I would go crazy trying to figure out the rails and stiles for a door like that. Looks like a designer’s nightmare. Amazing though.

Wow! thats a fun pet and a pretty door too.

Like the rest of your neighbours, it also very keen to know what you’re doing day and night in that shop.

Very nice door! (from my own mouth, not your guest’s one).

Awesome snake, and awesome work on those floating panels. That is one big, and elaborate door. Beautiful work, Rob.

Lampropeltis getula californiae———-California Kingsnake most likely…there are a numbering of varying patterns…this seems pretty close.

Nice job, and good helper, we had the real deal when I was stationed a Ft. Gordon, Ga.

Man! I don’t know how you do it… I guess you get used to them but I do not like snakes.Nice work on the door.

-- All bleeding will eventually stop.

WOW what a job of panels! Looks like you did really well ! ...and the snake… well no thanks!

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

Definitely a King. A dear friend, he/she will keep down the vermin. I’ve got a three foot black racer that’s always a welcome sight in my yard and occasionally comes into the shop area most likely for the lizards of which there are plenty.

always,

The door is great. Have you posted a Blog on how you made the door. I would really like to know how you did the math on this. This may sound dumb but what type of wood did you use and was it quarter sawn. How long did you have to aclimate the lumber for the project. Great Job.
