After taking your typical high school wood shop class, I purchased my first table saw in 2006 and built a coffee table from reclaimed white oak lumber from my childhood home. From that point on, I was hooked and have been developing my skills ever since.

I am currently fulfilling orders in approximately 6-10 weeks. However, as I continue to serve more clients my lead time grows longer. If you have a time sensitive project I recommend you get your order in as quickly as possible to ensure that I can meet your deadline.

I do ship smaller items if needed; however for larger items that would require freight please contact me to discuss pickup or delivery needs.

Yes, I can mill the tree on site. I can also then take the tree that has came down and work with you to design and build a lasting piece out of the lumber.

Live edge is a term that refers to a piece of wood where the natural edge of the tree trunk has been left intact which allows for unique edge profile. In traditional milling, the edges are usually cut on each side to create a straight or flat edge. Both types of cuts can be used to create furniture that fits your style of décor.

Staining is a process that uses a dye to physically alter the color of the wood away from its natural color. A finish is a surface top coat that accentuates the natural color of the wood. A finish also protects the surface of the wood and is applied either to bare wood or on top of a stain. I prefer to avoid using stains/dyes when woodworking and encourage selecting the species of wood that naturally has the intended color tones. This will allow for the added benefit for the heirloom piece to be spot repaired, renewed, and refinished throughout its life with out having to strip the entire piece back to bare wood

I use food safe, non-toxic hardwax oil finishes that do not contain any harmful chemicals, solvents, or VOC’s.

Life happens, and if you notice the finish on your piece showing wear or beginning to become dull, contact me and I can discuss the process for renewing and refreshing. The benefit of using a hard wax oil finish is the ability to spot repair and refresh the finish in home without the need for stripping the entire project back to raw wood.

Prevent standing water: Wipe up any standing water right away. If left for too long, the water may stain your wood. Avoid high heat: To avoid steam stains, place hot serve wear and dishes on a heating pad or other protective surface instead of directly on your furniture. Avoid harsh chemicals: Maintain your furniture’s finish by steering clear of any harsh, chemical-based cleaners or polish. The best way to clean your piece is with a soft cloth dampened with water.
