In general we do not carry inventory of our furniture because most things that we do are custom made. The only piece that from time to time we carry inventory of is our popular walnut bookshelf.
We certainly can help you. We will meet with you to talk about your needs. First we will show you different styles of furniture to see what is it that you like. Then we will make a drawing for you taking into account your needs and what styles you liked. If you don't like what we draw for you, don't worry we will do it again and again until you are satisfied with the design.
We use different finishes depending on the project. Some of the most common finishes we use are:
- Hand-rubbed linseed oil and beeswax mixture
- Environmentally-friendly sprayed lacquer
- Hand-rubbed varnish oil
- Hand-rubbed protective finish with a wax coat
