Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts

Nothing here
gets made twice.

Custom furniture, one piece at a time. One maker, materials worth the money, and enough time per project to actually get it right.

What drives this work
Pieces that get used. A dining table that outlasts the people who bought it. A crib. A bar cabinet that's still standing when the kids are grown.
What this is not
Production work. Repeated designs. Furniture built to a price point. If lead time is your main concern, we're probably not the right fit.

The work

Every custom project starts
with a drawing you approve.

Before anything gets ordered or cut, you see a detailed CAD model — proportions, dimensions, joinery. We work through it together until it's right.

Materials

The wood is half
the decision.

Choosing a material means making four calls: species, figure, cut, and whether the project calls for something outside the domestic range. Each one changes what the finished piece looks like and how it holds up. All four are worth talking through.

Species
The domestic hardwoods — American black walnut, cherry, hard maple, ash. Starting point for most projects. Each has a different character, price point, and workability.
Figure
Curly, birdseye, spalted. When the grain movement is doing design work. Harder to source, less predictable to work with — worth it when the project calls for it.
Cut
Rift-sawn for straight, consistent grain — mostly on legs. Quartersawn for stability on wide panels and tops; on oak, it also brings out the ray fleck. Discussed when it's available and relevant.
Exotic
Sapele, cocobolo, others. Reached for when the project calls for something the domestic range can't deliver — ribbon figure, density, or a color that isn't available in North American species.

How it works

Nothing gets cut
until you say so.

01
We talk through it
Tell me what you're after — rough dimensions, how it'll be used, what style feels right. I'll ask questions and come back with a ballpark and timeline.
02
You see it before we build it
Every custom project gets a CAD model. Proportions, joinery, leg angles — reviewed and approved together before any material is purchased.
03
Every detail gets decided
Wood species and cut. Edge profiles. Finish — hand-rubbed oil, hard wax, or sprayed lacquer. All of it confirmed and documented before the build starts.
04
You hear from me throughout
Photos at each stage of the build. When it's done, I deliver it or you pick it up in JP. No intermediaries, no handoffs.

Small Goods
