Drawn before
it’s built.

Every commission starts as a dimensioned drawing — so you approve the piece before a board is cut. Solid hardwood, multi-species lamination, built one at a time.

Selected work

Pieces marked ready to order are built to a set design — order it and it goes on the bench. The rest are examples: tell me the room and it gets drawn to fit before anything is cut.

How a commission works

You see the drawing first. Then the glue-up.

  1. 01Measure the room and talk through how the piece gets used.
  2. 02A dimensioned drawing to approve — revised until it’s right.
  3. 03Stock selected and laid up, so the stripe lands where you saw it.
  4. 04Built, finished, and delivered in the Portland metro.

Have something in mind?

Send the room, the rough size, and what it has to hold. A drawing comes back before anything is quoted.
