Why did you start woodworking?
I started woodworking in October of 2022. It was a crucial time in life when I was still deciding what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I was an engineering student before this, and had an itch to build something, as that is really the main reason I went into engineering in the first place. However, I was disappointed we had not build anything yet, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. Once I started making things and could see the fruits of my labor in the finished product, I knew this is what I wanted to pursue.
What is your goal with making wood furniture?
I make furniture because I believe that better furniture will make people's lives better. I love both the functionality and beauty of wood furniture, and want to share that experience with my customers by building them beautiful and functional pieces of wood art, as some may call it.
What are your processing times?
Our processing times vary for our products. For our end tables, it can take us anywhere from 2-4 weeks to source wood, select boards, and build the end table. For cutting boards, we allow for 1-2 weeks, to allow for board selection, surfacing, and finishing. For our entryway products, we need about 2-4 weeks for the coat racks, and 4-6 weeks for the shoe racks.
What are your shipping times?
We use UPS Ground and UPS Ground Saver for most of our shipping which means most items will take 1-6 business days to arrive after processing the product. Closer locations to Florida will take less time, and further locations like California will be take longer.
What do you charge for shipping?
We offer free shipping on all of our products except for custom orders. This may change in the future though.
What are some preventative measures that I can take with wood surfaces/furniture?
Some preventative measures we can take to care for wood surfaces is to keep it out of sunlight, this can affect the color of the wood over time, usually darkening the surface and can weaken the finish. You can keep the wood surface dry or in less moist environments. Water absorption and release can cause warping and cracking in wood boards over time which is why we want to keep the surface dry when possible. Keeping wood surfaces dry can also prevent water stains, like water rings from drinks. In that case, just use coasters. To effectively clean a wood surface, slightly wet a microfiber towel and apply a little bit of soap. Wipe the towel in the direction of the grain, being sure to not oversaturate the wood surface. Then, wipe the surface dry.
