Custom projects begin with detailed planning. We create drawings, layouts and, cut lists, so we can determine the material requirements and time required to complete the project

At the lumber supplier, we hand-select premium hardwoods, examining each board for grain pattern, color, and quality to ensure the best materials for your project.

Back in the shop, we carefully inspect each board for defects, warping, and grain characteristics to plan the optimal use of every piece.

Using our miter saw, we cut lumber to rough lengths, breaking down larger boards into manageable pieces for further processing.

The jointer/planner removes the natural warping and twisting in a rough cut board creating one flat surface on one edge and one side of a board which will then be used as a perfectly flat reference edge required for the next step, thickness planning

When we start with a piece of rough lumber it may be 1-1/8" thick and by the time we put it through the planners it will likely be close to 3/4" taking out all the warping and twisting, the thickness planner allows us to do this creating the same flat edges on each side while creating an equal uniform thickness dimension over the length of the board, of course raw lumber is very prone to internal tensions and can continue to adjust to its new dimensions so this process may go on for a bit until it stops warping and twisting
