The 12-Week Commission Journey

01

Weeks 1-2: Curation & Design

We begin with a wood-species consultation and architectural sketching. During this phase, we hand-select the raw timber flitches from our sustainable partners to match your desired grain pattern.

02

Weeks 3-8: The Master Build

The timber is brought into the studio for milling and traditional joinery. This is where we execute hand-cut dovetails and friction-fit tenons. You will receive weekly photo updates of the progress.

03

Week 12: Studio White-Glove Delivery

The final piece is inspected, signed by the artisan, and delivered via our white-glove service to ensure perfect placement and on-site assembly within your space.

Artisan Note

"We don't use metal fasteners where wood joinery can prevail. This allows the piece to expand and contract with the seasons, preventing cracks for generations."
