WHAT KIND OF COMMISSIONS DO YOU ACCEPT?

We specialize in standalone tabletops, dining tables, side tables, and coffee tables. On a project-to-project basis, we accept commissions for floating shelves, night stands, dressers, media consoles, live edge headboards, & bed frames. We can also make smaller household decor items like cutting boards & charcuterie boards.

CAN I MODIFY MY CUSTOM ORDER?

If you’d like to make slight modifications after placing your order, please notify the artisan as soon as possible. This is do-able up until the point of sourcing lumber and materials for your project. Additional rates may also apply.

CAN I SEND YOU INSPIRATION FOR A DESIGN?

Yes! Our gallery is updated periodically with our latest custom commissions, but if you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for, we would love to help bring your unique vision to life. Share your inspiration with us & we’ll create something just for you.

WHAT IS THE TURNAROUND TIME FOR CUSTOM FURNITURE?

Turnaround times will vary project to project, but typically 8-12 weeks is expected from the time your order is placed. Please allot more time if your commission requires intricate hand detailing/ carving or special wood orders. The artisan will notify you if your project falls into this category.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIVE EDGE & LUMBER?

Lumber is available as pre-cut beams and planks, sourced and purchased locally through our supplier. Individual planks are glued together and trimmed to your exact specifications. The end result looks like one big panel of wood, but if you look closely, you can make out the seams.
Live edge wood comes in slab form- think of it as a “slice” of the tree with raw edges. Slabs are not available in bulk and are special order only. We work together to pick out a slab closest to your desired dimensions. The cost will vary considerably depending on the species of wood, character, and size. Each piece is always completely unique from the last. Slabs often come with natural imperfections, like holes

CAN I CHOOSE THE WOOD FOR MY PIECE?

Individual lumber panels for hardwood furniture are hand picked by the artisan from a local supplier. If you have a preference for the amount of grain and figure for your piece, please let the artisan know at the time of sourcing your supplies.

For all live edge commissions, you will be presented with images of the raw slabs currently in stock with the supplier. You can also opt to wait until a slab in your desired dimensions and character becomes available. In this case, please note your commission will be placed on a soft hold until all materials are sourced, affecting the typical turnaround time.

Due to the handmade nature of the pieces, dimensions can vary plus or minus 1-2 inches.

DO YOU ONLY USE SOLID WOOD MATERIALS?

Yes, and this is one of the selling points that sets us apart from big brand competitors. We only source the highest quality, solid wood for all of our custom pieces. We believe in creating heirloom pieces that are built to last. Solid wood may be a bigger initial investment, but you won’t need to replace it as often as less durable furniture.

DO YOU STAIN OR SEAL THE WOOD?

We love bringing out the natural beauty and color of wood and actually discourage our clients from using artificial staining colors. This will keep your piece feeling warm and timeless. However, all pieces will be sprayed with several coats of water-based clear matte finish to preserve the wood without affecting the natural color.

CAN YOU HAND DELIVER OUR ORDER?

Seeing your piece set up in its new home is one of the most fulfilling parts of this process for us. If you are local to San Diego or Southern California, we can hand deliver and assemble your piece. Please inquire for availability.

HOW WILL MY PIECE BE DELIVERED?

To ensure safe delivery, a custom crate will be built to fit the exact dimensions of your individual piece and insulated with foam. Whenever possible, pieces will arrive flat packed with minor assembly required.

WILL MY PIECE ARRIVE ASSEMBLED?

Most custom pieces will require minor assembly. Threaded inserts will help make this convenient and straightforward for you. The artisan will relay instructions when and if needed.
