Questions
Can you create furniture from a single wood slab?
While we can work with single slabs, our joinery techniques often create the appearance of a single slab at more accessible prices. We'll discuss options based on your specific vision and budget.
Do you have wood samples available?
We maintain 1-2 wood types on hand and can source specific materials upon request. A 50% deposit initiates special sourcing projects to ensure you get your preferred wood type.
What delivery options are available?
We offer free local delivery in Rhode Island and Providence, plus complimentary Northeast corridor deliveries to Boston, Connecticut, NYC, and New Jersey once monthly with advance scheduling.
How long does production take?
Standard lead time is 4-6 weeks. We maintain open communication throughout the process and will notify clients if current timelines extend beyond this range.
Can I visit your workshop?
We welcome studio visits with advance notice. Our Providence location offers flexible viewing hours, including evenings and weekends, to accommodate client schedules.
What finish options are available?
We offer endless finish possibilities guided by client preferences. Our eco-friendly options include matte, satin, or semi-gloss sealers, with special techniques available to achieve specific aesthetic goals.
