What types of wood do you work with?
We work with a variety of wood types, including hardwoods like oak, walnut, and maple, as well as softwoods like pine and cedar. We also specialize in reclaimed and sustainable wood for eco-conscious projects.
Can I bring my own wood for a project?
Yes! If you have a specific type of wood or reclaimed material in mind, feel free to bring it in. Our team will assess it to ensure it’s suitable for your project and help guide you on how to best work with it.
Do you offer custom woodworking services?
Absolutely! We specialize in custom pieces such as furniture, cabinetry, and home decor. Our craftsmen work closely with you to design and create unique, one-of-a-kind items tailored to your needs and preferences.
Do you have any sustainable or eco-friendly options?
Yes! We prioritize sustainability by sourcing wood from certified sustainable forests and using reclaimed wood whenever possible. Our goal is to minimize environmental impact while delivering beautiful, durable products.
How long does a custom project take?
The timeline depends on the complexity and size of your project. A simple piece might take a day or two, while larger projects like custom furniture or cabinetry could take a few days to several weeks. We'll give you a clear ETA before we begin production.
What equipment do you have in your woodshop?
Our shop is equipped with a range of professional tools, including table saws, band saws, planers, jointers, routers, and sanders. We also have specialized tools for fine woodworking.
Is your wood sourced locally?
Whenever possible, we source wood locally to reduce transportation emissions and support local economies. We also prioritize materials that are ethically sourced and sustainably harvested.
What safety precautions should I take when working in a woodshop?
Safety is our top priority. We recommend wearing safety glasses, ear protection, and a dust mask, especially when cutting or sanding. Always follow tool safety guidelines and ask for help if you’re unfamiliar with a machine.
Do you offer delivery or installation for larger pieces?
Yes, we offer both delivery and professional installation for larger pieces like custom furniture or cabinetry (Please reach out to us directly and inquiry about availability). Our team ensures everything is set up properly and safely in your home or business.
Can you help me with wood selection for my project?
Absolutely! If you’re not sure which type of wood is best for your project, our experts are happy to guide you. We’ll discuss the specific needs of your project—whether it’s durability, aesthetics, or workability—and recommend the ideal wood species.
Can you accommodate last-minute or rush orders?
For urgent needs, this question helps manage expectations around deadlines and capacity.
While we prioritize quality and precision in every project, we do our best to accommodate rush orders when possible. Please reach out as early as possible to discuss your timeline, and we’ll work with you to ensure we meet your needs without compromising on craftsmanship.
What is your process for collaborating with clients on a custom project?
Our process begins with a consultation where we discuss your vision, needs, and any inspiration you have. From there, we draft designs and work with you to make adjustments. Once you approve, our team begins crafting, and we keep you updated with ETAs throughout the process to ensure everything aligns with your expectations.
