The designs shown on this website can be produced using the woods shown, or they can be customized to meet your needs through either materials choices or minor size adjustments. If you like the style of the work shown, but are in need of a different item, I am happy to work with you to develop a custom design.

The custom design process begins with research on my part to understand your needs and the environment in which the piece is to be located. If you are in the greater Seattle area, I will arrange to meet with you in your home to gather this information. If you are outside this area, photos or other media can be used to help me understand your design requirements.

At this point, I will generate some sketches for your consideration. Up until this point, there is no obligation on your part. If you feel there is promise in the sketches, and you would like to proceed to the next step, then I will generate and present a formal proposal, including price, schedule, and suggested materials. If you would like to proceed, I ask for a 50% deposit to secure a spot in my schedule, with the remainder due on delivery. If you want to explore some more design ideas, I ask for a $250 design deposit that is applicable to the final price if you proceed.

Once you have placed the order, I proceed with detailed design. During this phase we collaboratively work out all the details of the design. I will provide you with drawings and materials samples for your final design approval prior to beginning fabrication.

Delivery times can be anywhere from a month to 10+ months depending on my backlog. I work very hard to deliver on time, and will keep you apprised of progress. Clients are always welcome to visit my shop during any phase of the work.

I can arrange to ship pieces through proven crating and shipping companies to any location required. I will obtain and provide you the quotes for this service, and make the arrangements once you approve. I deliver in person in the Seattle area.

I look forward to working with you!
