The Process
When you choose to work with us, we will be right there with you at every step, from design to delivery and installation.
Every project begins with a complimentary design consultation.
We look at your space and how you live in it; taking into consideration your existing furniture, floors, beams, and trim.
We learn about your vision, the purpose your new furniture or built ins will serve, and share our creative insight and design ideas.
We discuss different options of wood species and what the grain patterns and coloring will look like in your space.
Incorporating all of that, we create your custom design, and create a proposal with a detailed description of your project and its cost. With your approval, we start your build.
You will receive photos and videos of the work in process and have the opportunity to give us input when we test finishes and choose hardware. As your project nears completion, we schedule your delivery date.
-
Use the CONTACT US page to tell us about your project! Once we have your contact information, we will be in touch to schedule your design consultation.
-
YES! We can have a design consultation via zoom and ship your custom piece to you once it is completed.
-
We use local sawmills and lumber yards to source wood, as much as possible.
-
Our favorite finish for tables is Rubio Monocoat. It’s a hardwax finish that is durable and stain resistant, so you don’t even have to use coasters! However, we can stain and use other traditional finishing methods, such as polyurethane or danish oil, to match existing finishes if desired.
-
We use our very own board butter, made of mineral oil and beeswax.
-
This is a personal preference. As woodworkers, we always prefer to use the natural color of the wood with a clear finish, however, we can test several different stains during the finishing process to match existing stains or find the desired color.
-
A lot of modern style tables call for metal bases, which we source from metal workers. Some tables with circular bases or rounded legs, we source from companies that specialize in these, as we do not have a lathe. We make farmhouse style bases, trestle bases, etc. in-house. The table base you choose will depend on the style you want.
-
All our work is custom, so you won’t find prices on our website. We usually start with a design consultation so we can take measurements and discuss your vision. Once we get all of this information, we give you a quote for your project.
-
We build dining room tables, coffee tables, desks, side tables, counter tops, bars, mudroom cubbies, bookshelves. We build both free-standing furniture and also build and install built-in pieces.
-
No, we usually do not do this, but we can recommend someone that does! If you need modifications to a piece you already own, such as changing out table legs, we might be able to help with that!
-
No, we do not make chairs.
-
No, we do not have a storefront. We have a small workshop that clients can visit, by appointment only, but do not have business hours open to the public.
-
Not yet! We get this question a lot and this is something that we feel called to do. We hope to be able to offer classes soon.
