Traditions in wood.

Handcarved Marian Prie Dieu, double kneeler, featuring lilies and the mediatrix symbol

We build what heirs yearn to receive: sacred, storied wood furnishings for hearth, altar, and throne — handmade with reverence for the past and purpose for the future.

Services

We offer a variety of services ranging from…

  • Altars, altar rails, ambos, church seating

  • Prie Dieus, kneelers, pews, and tables for home chapel use

  • Custom Wood Furnishings

  • Custom Trim/Casing Work

At De Nux Artisans, we know that sacred spaces deserve dedicated and earnest craftsmanship. Led by principal designer and woodworker, Ross McKnight, we draw from the Gothic and Romanesque traditions that blossomed at the height of Christendom to restore beauty, history, and meaning to your sanctuary, home, or chapel.

Based in South Louisiana, 1 hour north of New Orleans in Bush, LA, we serve Louisiana, neighboring states, and the East Coast.
