Start with the space you're finishing. Every design can be adjusted in size, wood and finish.
Pieces with a long life ahead
The joint that holds everything together.
A tenon is a tongue of wood cut to fit tightly into a matching pocket, the mortise. Glued and pinned with a hardwood peg, it locks two parts together without a single screw, and it has held furniture together for thousands of years.
Every piece we make is built around joints like this, cut and fitted by hand, so it can be repaired and passed down instead of replaced.
Eight weeks, start to finish
Nothing comes off a warehouse shelf. Your piece is started the day you approve it, and you see it at every stage.
Choose your piece
Pick the design, size, wood and finish. Need different dimensions? Send your measurements.
Approve the drawing
You get a dimensioned drawing with your exact specs. Nothing is cut until you sign off.
Built by hand
Boards are selected, milled, joined and hand-finished, with photo updates from the bench.
Crated & delivered
Your piece ships in a wooden crate and arrives assembled, ready for the room.
Chosen to age well
Solid wood changes color with light and time. Drag the slider to see how each species looks new and after a few years at home.
Notes from the bench
Walnut, oak, cherry or ash? Choosing a wood for your room
What each species looks like today, and how it will look in twenty years.
Why joinery matters more than the wood itself
The difference between a chair that wobbles in five years and one that never does.
A once-a-year routine for oil-finished furniture
Ten minutes, a soft cloth and a little wax keep a hand-rubbed finish looking new.
Good questions
Still deciding? Send us a photo of your room and its measurements and we'll help you pick the right size.
How long does a made-to-order piece take?
Most pieces are built and delivered within 6 to 8 weeks of approving your drawing. Large dining tables and custom sizes can take longer, and we'll tell you up front.
Can I change the size or the wood?
Yes. Most designs can be adjusted in length, width and height, and each is offered in walnut, white oak, cherry or ash. Send your measurements and we'll confirm what's possible before you pay.
Will I see my piece before it ships?
You approve a dimensioned drawing before any wood is cut, get photo updates during the build, and see final photos before it's crated.
How is it delivered?
Each piece ships in a wooden crate and arrives assembled wherever possible. Delivery is free within the contiguous United States.
What if it arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos and your order number, and we'll arrange a repair, replacement or refund.
