In simple terms, “custom built woodworking” means designing and building a one-of-a-kind item from raw wood to a finished project. It’s a very different process than shopping at your local box store or online “home goods” store. Quality is always paramount, but cost is a consideration as well.
Each custom commissioned project begins with an idea – perhaps for a specific space, a special piece, unique bench, beautiful box or custom cutting board. Together, we’ll discuss and explore the function, style, shape, size, materials, color and finish. The process is interactive and collaborative. While style is very personal, some of our favorite woodworking influences are: Shaker, Contemporary, Live Edge, Country Farmhouse, Modern, and Arts & Crafts. We spend time getting to know you and your preferences and consider no project too large or too small. Crafted in Georgia, our designs are as varied as our clients’ ideas, and every piece is built to last a lifetime.
We work primarily with locally sourced hardwoods, beautiful and durable. Some of our favorites are oaks, a range of maples, black walnut, and poplar, just to name a few. However, we often incorporate a range of exotic woods like padauk, purple heart, or zebra wood for a very distinctive look. With outdoor projects, we love using local clear cypress and fragrant cedar, whose natural bug and weather resistance qualities are outstanding for their cost.
