Frequently Asked Questions

Got an idea for a one-of-a-kind piece, or a bare corner that deserves something unforgettable? I’m happy to meet with you in person—or connect via email—to discuss any potential commission you have in mind. Together, we’ll explore design options such as style, wood species, joinery, dimensions, finishes, and review any reference images or inspiration you’d like to share.
Following this consultation, I will provide a rough estimate for your project. Please keep in mind that a custom, one-of-a-kind piece carries a premium. If you choose to move forward, a 50% deposit is required, with the remaining balance due upon delivery. Contact me for more details.

Absolutely! After our initial meeting, I’ll create detailed renderings or sketches of the proposed design and put together a review document for you. At this stage, we can refine proportions, joints, and any other details to make sure it’s exactly what you want. Then the fun begins—and the sawdust starts flying!

Once we have discussed the complexity of your individual piece I will give you a ballpark figure for delivery. Typical lead time is 8–12 weeks, though this can vary depending on the design and my current workload. Every piece is carefully crafted, assembled, and finished by hand, so quality takes time.

To clean, gently dust with a soft cloth. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap and clean water, then thoroughly dry the surface. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and never let water sit on the surface. Protect your wood from extreme temperature changes and use coasters to prevent heat or moisture damage. For an oil finish, occasional re-oiling helps maintain its appearance. Over time, the wood will naturally develop a patina, with variations in tone and grain adding to its character.
