From Design to Delivery

We collaborate with homeowners, designers, builders, and architects to create hardwood surfaces designed for long-term performance.

Designed for the Space It Lives In

Every project starts with the space, the people using it, and the conditions the surface will live in.

We work with homeowners, designers, builders, architects, and hospitality teams to create hardwood surfaces designed specifically for their environment and intended use. That may include kitchen islands, dining tables, integrated countertop systems, reception desks, or architectural installations.

Because these surfaces become part of the space long-term, material selection, construction methods, finish systems, and installation planning all matter.

No two projects are identical, and the process reflects that.

Species, construction methods, edge details, finish systems, and installation considerations are selected based on the actual demands of the space and how the surface will be used.

Our Approach

1. Initial Conversation

Every project starts with the fundamentals:

  • Project type and dimensions
  • Intended use
  • Style and visual direction
  • Wood species and color preferences
  • Installation conditions
  • Project timeline
  • Who will be handling templating and installation

This stage helps determine whether solid hardwood is appropriate for the application and identifies any technical considerations that should be addressed early.

2. Design & Pricing

Once the project direction is established, we develop pricing and review the details that affect fabrication, installation coordination, and long-term performance.

This may include:

  • Seam and joint locations
  • Sink and appliance integration
  • Specialty shapes or oversized sections
  • Transitions to stone or other surfaces
  • Thickness and edge profile details
  • Texture treatments
  • Staining or custom color work
  • Finish system selection
  • Installation support requirements

Some projects require additional coordination, drawings, prototypes, or site review before final pricing can be confirmed.

3. Project Approval & Deposit

Once project specifications, pricing, and scope are approved, a deposit is required before production scheduling can begin.

For certain projects, custom samples, finish testing, prototypes, or mockups may also be developed prior to final fabrication.

4. Final Design Review & Approval

Before final fabrication begins, final project details are reviewed and approved.

Depending on the project, this may include:

  • Drawings
  • Dimensions
  • Seam locations
  • Grain direction
  • Sink layouts
  • Mounting details
  • Finish selections
  • Installation coordination

Approval at this stage is important to help avoid downstream changes, delays, or field conflicts.

5. Fabrication

Each project is fabricated from carefully selected hardwoods using construction methods appropriate for the application. 

Because wood is a natural material, variation in grain, mineral streaking, knots, color, and figure is expected. During production, we may contact clients regarding specific material characteristics or aesthetic decisions, particularly where natural variation may affect the final appearance.

Some clients prefer cleaner, more uniform selections. Others prefer stronger natural character. Communication during fabrication helps align the finished work with the goals of the project.

While we work hard to maintain projected timelines, quality and long-term performance take priority over rushing material through production.

6. Delivery Coordination

Solid wood surfaces should arrive when the site is ready to receive, acclimate, and install them properly.

We coordinate delivery timing with clients, builders, or installers to help ensure:

  • The site is conditioned and enclosed
  • Cabinetry or supports are ready
  • Acclimation can occur appropriately
  • Installation will follow within a reasonable timeframe

If a project site is not ready at the scheduled completion time, we are generally able to store completed work in our climate-controlled facility temporarily. Storage extending beyond two weeks may be subject to additional fees.

For unfinished pieces, we coordinate shipping schedules carefully to minimize unnecessary transit exposure, including avoiding extended weekend holds and major weather events whenever possible.

Wood surfaces left uninstalled for extended periods or exposed to uncontrolled environments may experience movement or performance issues that can affect warranty coverage.

7. Installation Support

We do not perform installations.

Installation is typically handled by the client, contractor, cabinet team, finish carpenter, or other designated installer. Because solid wood surfaces require appropriate fastening methods, movement allowances, support conditions, and environmental considerations, we remain available throughout the installation process to help answer questions and coordinate details as needed.

Successful installations depend on proper site conditions, careful handling, and installers who understand the requirements of solid wood.

What to Expect

Clear Communication

We use a dedicated production management system to track projects throughout fabrication and scheduling.

Clients receive status updates as projects move through production, and we are always available by phone or email if additional coordination or updates are needed.

Real Materials

Solid wood is a natural material, not a manufactured pattern.

Variation in grain, texture, color, movement, and figure is normal and expected. Some finishes and treatment systems — particularly highly specialized commercial-grade systems — may also require additional production attention, testing, or scheduling flexibility.

Good outcomes depend on thoughtful material selection, proper environmental conditions, realistic expectations, and careful coordination throughout the process.

Request a Consultation

If you're planning a residential, hospitality, or commercial project involving hardwood surfaces, we help evaluate scope, material selection, technical requirements, and feasibility early in the process.

Project Consultation

Share project details, dimensions, drawings, finish preferences, or reference imagery. We review each inquiry to determine scope, coordination requirements, and material suitability.

Material Samples

Order hardwood samples to evaluate species, grain, color, texture, and finish options within your space and lighting conditions.

Finish Selection Guide

Select a finish based on how the surface will be used and maintained over time.

Mineral Oil & Organic Beeswax

Best for: Frequent chopping
Maintenance: Frequent, easy
Feel: Soft, natural matte
Repairability: Excellent

Pure Tung Oil

Best for: Infrequent chopping
Maintenance: Periodic, more involved
Feel: Satin, warmer tone
Repairability: Good

Rubio Monocoat™

Best for: General use surfaces
Maintenance: Low
Feel: Matte, raw wood appearance
Repairability: Localized repairs possible

Impermio™ Film Finish

Best for: High moisture / heavy use
Maintenance: Minimal
Feel: Sealed, protected surface
Repairability: Not spot-repairable

How to Choose

  • Choose Mineral Oil & Organic Beeswax for active chopping surfaces that can recover from wear over time
  • Choose Pure Tung Oil for reduced maintenance with occasional cutting and a warmer, naturally evolving appearance 
  • Choose Rubio Monocoat™ for low-maintenance, general-use surfaces without direct cutting
  • Choose Impermio™ Film Finish where moisture resistance and long-term protection are the priority
