Materials & method

Built the slow way, on purpose

Every piece starts as rough lumber, not a flat pack. It gets milled, jointed, cut and fitted here — then finished by hand so a scratch in year six can be sanded out instead of thrown out.

  • Kiln-dried domestic hardwoods — oak, walnut, maple, ash, cherry
  • Mechanical joinery: dados, rabbets, dowels and pocketed frames
  • Hardwood or ply-backed panels — never bare particle board
  • Hardwax-oil or lacquer finishes, both repairable at home
  • Every piece signed, dated and photographed before it leaves

How a commission works

Four steps, no mystery

You'll know the wood, the dimensions and the price before a single board gets cut — and you'll get photos along the way.

01

Tell me the space

Measurements, a photo of the room, and what the piece has to hold. That's enough to start.

02

Wood & quote

You pick the species and finish from real samples. You get a fixed price and a build date in writing.

03

The build

Milling through final coat, filmed and photographed. Progress shots land in your inbox, not just on the feed.

04

Delivery

Local delivery and hanging included, or crated and shipped with the mounting hardware sized for your wall.

From the bench

Builds, in progress and finished

Shop footage and detail shots — the joinery you can't see once the piece is on the wall.

I asked for a cabinet that would fit an awkward corner and hold a turntable. What showed up looked like it had always been in the room.
