Your Questions, Answered

    • Custom furniture: dining tables, desks, bed frames, cabinets, dressers. Designed to your dimensions, style, and function.

    • Built-ins and millwork: bookcases, window seats, media walls, shelving, and trim work that integrate seamlessly with your home.

    • Kitchen and bath cabinetry: framed and frameless options, soft-close hardware, dovetail drawers, and durable finishes.

    • Restorations and refinishing: preserve original character while improving function and longevity.

    • One-off commissions: statement pieces, heirloom gifts, and unique designs made to order.

  • Discovery: We start with a conversation, in person or virtual, to understand your goals, budget, timeline, and inspirations. I’ll ask about how you use the piece, the room’s dimensions and lighting, and any materials or styles you prefer. Photos, sketches, or inspiration images are welcome.

    Design & proposal: I’ll create preliminary sketches and a written proposal that outlines scope, materials, finish options, timeline, and an estimated cost. Together we refine the design until it meets your needs. A deposit secures your place in the build schedule.

    Detailed drawings & agreement: Once the concept is approved, I produce detailed plans and a final contract that covers dimensions, materials, hardware, joinery, delivery, and warranty. This ensures clarity and protects both of us before construction begins.

    Build & updates: I craft your piece in my workshop using solid woods, hand and machine techniques, and careful joinery. You’ll receive progress updates and photos at key milestones so you’re involved without needing to visit the shop daily.

    Finishing & quality check: After assembly, the piece is sanded, finished, and inspected. I apply the finish you selected—oil, lacquer, or hand-rubbed—then verify fit, function, and durability.

    Delivery & install: I deliver and install the piece, ensure it fits and functions as intended, and walk you through care and maintenance. Final payment is collected upon satisfactory delivery.

    Aftercare & warranty: I stand behind my work. Small adjustments and advice are available after delivery, and I’ll provide guidance on long-term care to keep your piece beautiful for generations.
