Custom doors & windows by Bill Pyke
A lifetime of working with wood - a partnership of design & materials
Bill Pyke's specialties include custom made doors and windows.
To the left, he's surrounded by 10 doors he built as five pairs, eight feet tall, out of pine. All have storm doors on the outside. With door windows, Bill always uses tempered glass or at the very least, six ml glass.
This project definitely called for tempered glass. The dimensions of the doors and the location of the house demand dependable strength. "Kingsburg invented wind," says Bill.

This beautiful glass window by
Kiln Art
was framed by Bill Pyke. The third door and jam was made out of cherry cut from the home owner's house lot. The three-inch thick door
weighs in at 250 pounds and has a natural oil finish.
