Have a piece made for you.

Designed for your space. Built one at a time, by hand. Signed and dated. Start with a conversation — let's see what we make.

Folio 001 · Before you inquire

What you're signing up for.

I.

Timeline

Months, not weeks.

Plan for three to six months from first call to delivery, depending on the piece. The good ones take time. The wood, the joinery, the finish — none of it gets rushed.

II.

Investment

A real piece is a real investment.

Pricing depends on the piece, the materials, and the complexity. Commissions generally start in the low thousands and go up from there. I share a written proposal before either of us commits.

III.

The process

Five steps. One project.

Conversation, proposal, design, build, delivery. About half of first calls end with me telling someone they'd be better off with something off the shelf. If we're a fit, we keep going.

Folio 002 · The Inquiry

Tell me about the piece.

The room it's going into. The people who'll use it. What you've considered. What you can't find anywhere else.
