Yes! I typically have several products on hand, like cutting boards, charcuterie  boards, pizza/bread peels, and live edge serving trays. I also occasionally have one-of-a-kind products on hand, such as live edge coffee tables. The website will identify if a product is available immediately. If not on hand, please allow up to three weeks for your piece to be handcrafted.

Many creations are offered with choices for wood types, sizes, finishes, or other options. I will also try to accommodate special requests for modifications to suit your preferences. Use the “Order Notes” box during checkout to state your preferences. I’m also happy to talk with you to see if I can meet your needs for custom pieces. To initiate the process, please fill out the contact form or send me an email specifying the product you have in mind. I’m eager to discuss your preferences and answer any questions you may have. Ultimately, I hope to provide something extraordinary for your home!

I use primarily domestic hardwoods, such as walnut, cherry, maple, and poplar. I also use exotic hardwoods, such as padauk and purple heart, for their unique appearance.

For more rustic or farmhouse pieces I often use pine, spruce, or fir.

Wood choices for cutting boards, trivets, pizza peels, etc. is a matter of aesthetic preference. All hardwoods offered are dense and resilient. Walnut is typically medium to dark brown but may include lighter variations. Maple is typically a cream to light brown and is the lightest of the choices. Cherry is more variable but typically medium brown, darker than maple and with more yellow or red hues. Padauk is a beautiful rich burnt orange color. Purpleheart may also be available and is a beautiful deep purple.

I primarily use finishes that highlight the natural beauty of the wood. I use only the highest quality finishes to get the perfect look and level of protection. I use natural oils to bring out the grain and color of hardwoods. I use hard-wax oils for the same effect, with even greater protection for tables and benches. I use high-quality water-based polyurethane for surfaces that may be subject to the most demanding use. I use only food-safe finishes, like pure tung oil or my own combination of mineral oil and beeswax, on any pieces that may come into contact with food, like charcuterie boards and cutting boards.  Where stains or paints are chosen, which is common with pine, spruce, or fir, I use only the highest quality water-based stains, primers, and paints.

I use a combination of hand tools and power tools. Milling lumber to the right dimensions typically involves power tools. I use traditional hand tools, such as chisels, planes, pull saws, and sanding blocks to get things just right and ensure the highest quality finished pieces.
