Will my order look exactly like the photo?

Every order is made custom with our human hands, but more importantly, wood is a natural resource. A tree takes years to grow, harvest, and season for lumber. Each tree on this fine planet is a unique expression of its species and every board from that tree is quite literally a different cross section of that expression. This is where some of the magic of wood lies. Every piece is different in that all wood is different. Uniformity has its place in beauty, but the raw variation in wood has not ceased to amaze me. That being said, we choose our lumber very meticulously for quality and cut.

Why the long wait on custom orders?

We work as quickly as we are able, and no faster. We take our time to do it correct the first time. Rushing leads to mistakes, mistakes lead to lost time, lost time leads to more stress and haste, which can lead to even more disastrous consequences. I recently read a description of woodworking machines as “Very Patient Meat Eaters”. So they are, and I am speaking from harrowing experience.

We do our work in a timely manner, and do our best to be realistic and communicative with our deadlines. We want all our clients and us to be proud of our product, not our deadlines.
