01
Select Timber
Boards are chosen for movement, figure, moisture, and how their grain will read across the finished form.
Workshop Journal / Process
How a commission moves from rough board to finished furniture.
This page is built like a field note from the shop: process first, service details beside it, and practical commission notes below.
Process Film
Seven shop moments, one finished piece.
The film illustrates the sequence clients rarely see: timber selection, layout, cutting, surface work, joinery, assembly, finishing, and final reveal.
02
Measure + Cut
Dimensions are marked from full-scale drawings, then broken down with room for final hand tuning.
03
Plane + Sand
Surfaces are brought into plane, eased, and sanded until the wood has a clean tactile rhythm.
04
Joinery
Mortise-and-tenon, dovetail, and frame joinery are cut for strength before any finish hides the evidence.
05
Assembly
Each piece is dry fit, clamped, squared, and adjusted before the final glue-up.
06
Finish
Oil and wax are built in thin passes to protect the surface while keeping the grain natural.
07
Reveal
The final piece is inspected in natural light, photographed, and prepared for installation.
Services
Commission paths for homes, studios, and hospitality spaces.
- Dining tables and conference tables
- Lounge chairs, benches, and stools
- Cabinetry, sideboards, and media storage
- Desks, library pieces, and built-ins
- Material consultation and finish sampling
Samples are never decorative.
Finish boards are made from the same species and cut as the commission so color, sheen, and edge detail can be approved before the full piece is assembled.
Every proposal includes proportion drawings.
The goal is to settle scale early, especially for dining tables, desks, and cabinetry that must work with existing architecture.
