Process

How a Piece Comes to Life

Step 1 – Conversation

It begins with how you live: the room, the way you use it, the feeling you want the piece to have. We discuss dimensions, wood species, and design direction.

Step 2 – Design

I create a simple drawing or 3D mock-up and refine proportions until the piece feels right. Once approved, I source lumber specifically for your project.

Step 3 – Build

Boards are jointed, planed, and milled. Joinery is cut by hand and machine, then carefully fit. Edges are shaped, surfaces smoothed, and every detail tuned.

Step 4 – Finish

Finishing is slow and deliberate—multiple coats of natural oil, hand-rubbed, followed by a protective topcoat where appropriate.

Step 5 – Delivery

Your piece is delivered or prepared for pickup, with care instructions so it can be enjoyed for generations.
