How it’s built

How a piece is built

Proportion, joinery, finish and detail decide how a piece turns out.

  • Four-poster bed with tall tapered posts and finials and an arched headboard in a sunlit bedroom

    Proportion

    Tapered posts, low rails and an arched headboard, sized to read as one piece.

    The four-poster bed
  • Dark stained nightstand with its drawer pulled open to show dovetail joints, tapered legs and a lower shelf

    Joinery

    Half-blind dovetails lock the drawer front to its sides, so the corner doesn’t rely on glue alone.

  • Nightstand with one drawer, a dark metal knob, an open lower shelf and a plank back panel

    Finish

    A clear finish lets the wood’s own color show, chosen for how hard the piece is used.

  • Close-up of a bed post with a round brass bolt cover and a stopped chamfer above the rail

    Detail

    Stopped chamfers ease the posts; brass covers hide the bed bolts.

Live edge

Live edge tables and slab furniture

The walnut console shown here keeps the tree’s natural edge along its front, and one end drops to the floor in a mitered waterfall that carries the grain down.

The slab work behind it, flattening, sanding and preparing the slab for its base, is also a service we offer on its own.

Cost

What affects the price

Every piece is quoted with its plan after the consultation.

How pricing works

The main cost drivers

  • Species. Walnut sits in the top cost tier of our wood guide; red oak, cherry and ash sit lower. Figured boards cost more.
  • Size. Length, width and thickness set the lumber and the hours to flatten, join and sand.
  • Joinery, details and finish. Dovetailed drawers, waterfall ends and turned finials add shop time, and so does each coat of finish.

How much does custom furniture cost?

HomeAdvisor puts a typical custom piece at $1,000 to $4,250 nationally, with an average of $2,600. Ours is quoted with the plan after a design consultation, so you see the number before anything gets built.

How long does a custom piece take?

It depends on the piece and what’s already in the shop. You get a timeline with your plan and estimate after the consultation, as the process page explains.

Is walnut or oak harder?

Oak. The Wood Database rates white oak at 1,350 lbf and red oak at 1,220 on the Janka scale, against 1,010 for black walnut. Walnut gets picked for its color and figure; the wood guide compares 13 species.

Where does your wood come from?

Our hardwood is locally sourced. What’s on hand changes, so ask us what’s available right now.
