Heirloom furniture and cabinets can last for generations and are much more expensive to produce than mass produced pieces which after a few years are destined for the landfill. While using FSC lumber for building materials is a significant amount of the cost involved, time is by far the most expensive portion of a projects cost.

Whenever possible I visit my clients in their home to get a feel for what they like and dislike and we talk about their needs. Things to consider during this conversation are: size, wood species, joinery, and budget. Once we have had the initial conversation I take measurements and photos of the space and begin the drawing phase of the project. In about two weeks I have a few options for the client to review and once we have a design that they like a final drawing is prepared for approval. When the final drawing is approved a 50% deposit is required to start construction with the final amount due at the time of delivery.

With the design finalized the next step is to find the best possible building materials for each individual project. Since lumber sometimes comes from other parts of the country it is necessary for the lumber to acclimate in the shop for up to a week before actual construction can begin.

Since every piece is tailored to the clients needs the timeline for completion can vary. I believe that it is always best to take a little extra time to get everything just right. When the piece is completed a delivery will be scheduled and the piece will be taken to its new home.
