Projects like this are our forte. When a client has a clear vision for how the piece should fit their passion, it's easy to turn that into a beautiful reality.

Tempered Glass River Dining Table

A distant shot of a large custom glass river table, orangey brown walnut slabs on either side, with a custom piece of blue tempered glass inlaid down the middle.
Looking down at the glass river of a custom river table, with reflections of windows in the blue tempered glass.

Designed to seat 14, this massive dining table is made from a single slab of Black Walnut brought in from Oregon. It was sliced down the middle, and each half turned in on each other to create the unique, blue tempered glass river. An heirloom piece like this depends on exquisite material sourcing from an experienced sawmill that kiln-dries the wood to exacting precision, and proper milling and finishing procedures. These practises are necessary to combat any erratic wood movement as best we can in the years to come.

White Ash Wine Collector Cabinet

The Wine Collector Cabinet started with a reduction to the essence of the design; a cabinet that has an interesting wine display, regardless of the number of bottles. This organic array of different length supports is framed by a simple, high-end cabinet without any flourishes or novelties, and we think this line of thinking will keep it in style for decades to come. Note the waterfall edges that carry the grain from the top down each edge, with as little disruptions to form as possible, reinforced with subtle spline joints.

Mid-Century Modern Walnut Bed

The foot of a custom walnut bed frame, showing a fancy detail where the leg joins the frame, and the oversized finger joints on the corner of the frame itself.

A custom king size bed frame that nearly filled our small woodshop, designed to suit the style of the client. After touring the client's beautiful home, filled with iconic designs from Dieter Rams, and Mart Stam, and paintings by Gustav Klimt, she asked for something to fit in, and didn’t give much more instruction other than the dimensions. We’re particularly proud of the subtle but intricate design language throughout the piece, and the visible joinery that makes-up the heirloom quality strength of the piece, while also being entirely collapsible.

We never thought a dining set for children would come across our desk, but we had a lot of fun with this one. It features playful, rounded edges all over the place, and simple, chunky dimensions. Each seat back has a different design carved into it and stained a deeper tone; a moon, a sun, a star and a cloud. This design hinges on its simplicity, leaning into a simple, welcoming form factor and made entirely of solid wood for ultimate durability.

Walnut "Stance" Media Console

A repeat client drew a crude two dimensional figure of this piece, and the rest was up to us. We wanted to ensure the ratio of each segment and dimension was in harmony with the overall shape, and the result is quite stunning. The console takes a noteworthy stance in space, and makes a bold statement. This piece was the first piece available on a shirt in the merchandise shop for a limited time, now passed.

Cousin's Bar Cart

Dedicated to Amy Cummine. This piece was made for a fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis research. It’s a simple design, with all the fixings one might want in a bar cart, and the fit and finish to stand out in any space. The wooden wheels and curved lower rails are a favourite, which feature wedged through-tenon joints, to match the towel rod.
