Service · Custom furniture

Order custom handmade furniture

From the first conversation to delivery, you are part of every decision: the slab, the species, the base and the finish. Your piece is typically ready 8–10 weeks after final approval.

How ordering works

Five steps to a piece made for you

  1. STEP 01

    Consultation

    We start with a conversation to understand the project: your needs, wishes and hopes for your new furniture.

  2. STEP 02

    Wood selection

    Browse photos of our live edge slab inventory to choose the perfect shape and texture, or pick the ideal species and boards for lumber.

  3. STEP 03

    Design

    Once the details are finalised we send a sketch for your approval. Every project begins with an approved drawing.

  4. STEP 04

    Fabrication

    With your approval and a deposit we begin building and send process photos. Pieces are finished 8–10 weeks after final approval.

  5. STEP 05

    Delivery & installation

    We coordinate delivery, installation and final assembly. We stand by our craftsmanship with a full warranty.

From sketch to shop

Each project begins with an approved sketch

Depending on your piece’s requirements, we may work on it anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, but nothing is cut until you have approved a drawing like these.

We build everything in three barns in Higganum: woodshop, finishing studio, kiln and a small metal shop for bases and hardware.

Care & warranty

Built to last generations

We stand by our design and craftsmanship and offer a full warranty for every piece that leaves our shop. A little care keeps it beautiful.

Wipe spills promptly

Use coasters and trivets, and wipe spills with a soft, damp cloth.

Gentle cleaning only

Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and abrasive pads on the finish.

Mind heat and sun

Keep pieces away from direct heat sources and prolonged direct sunlight.

Let wood breathe

Solid wood moves with the seasons. Steady indoor humidity keeps it happy.
