Craftsmanship Standards
The Architectural Woodwork Institute sets standards for appearance, engineering, fabrication, finishing and installation. Builders and architects need to be aware of three AWI grades when specifying work to be done:
- Premium
- Custom
- Economy
Most architectural woodwork is custom grade, with premium grade reserved for special projects or focal points, and economy representing the minimum expectation of quality, workmanship, materials and installation.
Visit the Architectural Woodwork Institute website for the most up-to-date standards.

For a modern craftsman farmhouse in San Luis Obispo, California, designer Ariana Lovato of Honeycomb Home Design had a custom front door made in alder by a local carpenter. In keeping with the residence’s warm, transitional ambiance, the door is an updated take on classic Stickley style, with its emphasis on craftsmanship, simplicity, and functionality. The design is attractively straightforward, allowing the gorgeous wood to be the star of the show.
