Deposit - Custom Furniture

$500.00

Commission a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture, designed specifically for your space and built by hand from solid wood.

This offering begins with a design and materials deposit, which secures your place in the build queue and initiates a collaborative design process. From there, we’ll work together to create a piece that reflects both your needs and the principles that guide my work: proportion, durability, and a respect for material.

What to Expect

1. Design Consultation

We begin with a one-on-one video call to understand:

  • how the piece will be used

  • where it will live

  • any references, constraints, or inspiration you have

This is an open conversation—no prior design experience required.

2. Concept & Drawings

Following our conversation, I’ll develop:

  • initial drawings of the piece

  • key dimensions and proportions

  • early thoughts on structure and joinery

We’ll refine these together until the design feels right.

3. Material Selection

Once the design is finalized, we’ll select:

  • wood species (cherry, walnut, maple, oak, etc.)

  • grain direction and visual character

  • any contrasting elements or details

Where possible, I’ll source boards specifically for your piece.

4. Build Phase

The piece is then built by hand in my shop using:

  • solid hardwood construction

  • traditional joinery methods

  • hand-shaped components where appropriate

I may share updates throughout the process, but the focus remains on the work itself.

5. Delivery

Each piece is delivered in person.

I handle delivery and placement to ensure the piece arrives exactly as intended and is situated properly in your space.

Deposit & Pricing

  • The deposit secures your project and covers the design phase

  • It is applied toward the final cost of the piece

  • Final pricing will be confirmed once the design and materials are agreed upon

Timeline

  • Design phase: typically 1–2 weeks

  • Build timeline: varies depending on scope and current queue; typically 6-8 weeks

Notes

  • Each piece is made to order and will vary slightly in grain, tone, and character

  • The process is collaborative, but guided—decisions are made with both aesthetics and longevity in mind
