The samples of fifty-five door wings are investigated deeply according to their production technique, decoration technique, the diagram and decoration in the study of ` The Wooden Doors In Anatolian Turkish Art Up To The Middle Of 15th Century M. In the production of the door wings, many different kinds of techniques are used such as pounding, meshing and meshing and kündekari (Tab lo 1). The techniques of kündekari (real kündekari, imitation kün dekari ), carving ( smooth surface, round surface, channeled and two-layered carving and curved cutting ), scraping, in laid and openwork sticking are used in several decorations ( Tablo 2 ).
