Made to order or commission?
I offer designs made to order, which can be customized through a quick consultation (wood variety, finish, etc.). Other pictures below are examples of unique builds, commissions, and other projects. I thrive on exploring design ideas together with each client. Let’s make something!

A word on finishes
I always aim to fit the finish to the project’s expected use: VOC-free hardwax oil on general-purpose furniture, lacquer on heavily trafficked surfaces, food-safe finishes on cutting boards, etc.
If you would like to discuss finish or stain options for any made-to-order product, please contact me here.
Cleaning
To keep products looking their best, clean occasionally with a damp rag and dry immediately. Do not soak and do not use chemical cleaners. For more robust messes, use a small amount of soapy water and dry thoroughly after cleaning.
