Past commissions and one-off pieces, from grain to finished grace.
We read reclaimed and responsibly sourced boards for grain, figure, and the piece they want to become.
Cut, joined, and smoothed at the bench — never rushed, never mass-made. One maker, one piece.
A hand-rubbed oil deepens the grain and protects it — easily renewed at home, year after year.
Wrapped and shipped with care — engraved on request — to become part of your family’s story.
The engraved box I commissioned for my mother is the most-loved thing in her house. You can feel the hand in it.
Commissioned an heirloom box
I found the candle holders at a craft fair and have bought three more since. Rustic, but quietly refined.
Returning collector
