What I’m Best Suited For

Custom work works best for projects that value simplicity, usefulness, and careful material selection, such as:

• Furniture pieces (tables, cabinets, shelving, display cases)

• Small built-ins or standalone storage pieces

• Thoughtful gift pieces meant for long-term use

Projects that allow for conversation, planning, and a steady pace are where I do my best work.

How I Approach Custom Projects

I’m not a production shop, and I don’t build on tight deadlines. My approach is deliberate and process-focused.

When I take on a custom project, you can expect:

• Clear discussion of ideas and expectations

• Honest feedback about design and materials

• A realistic timeline based on my availability

• Careful attention to detail throughout the build

This approach ensures the project stays enjoyable and the finished piece reflects the time invested in it.

Projects I’m Not a Good Fit For

To respect everyone’s time, it’s helpful to know what I generally don’t take on:

• Rush jobs or tight deadline projects

• Production or batch orders

• Large-scale commercial work

• Projects that prioritize speed or lowest cost over quality

If your project falls into one of these categories, I may not be the right fit — and that’s okay.

Pricing & Timeline Expectations

Custom woodworking is priced based on materials, complexity, and time involved. Because each project is different, pricing is discussed individually after understanding the scope of work.

Timelines vary depending on current projects and shop schedule. I’ll always be upfront about availability before committing to a project.

How to Reach Out

If, after reading the above, you feel your project might be a good fit, I’d be happy to start a conversation.

When you contact me, it helps to include:

• A brief description of the project

• Approximate size or dimensions

• Intended use and location

• Any reference photos or inspiration

• Your general timeframe (flexible is best)

You can reach me through the contact page, and I’ll respond as soon as I’m able.

I take on custom work selectively so each project gets the attention it deserves. If we decide to move forward together, you can expect a thoughtful, collaborative process from start to finish.
