Finished to a standard most shops cannot touch

Some projects are about a single, unforgettable piece — a live-edge dining table, a built-to-order conference table, an heirloom worth passing down. We design and build custom furniture in any species, then finish it to a standard most shops cannot touch.

Our finishing department delivers showroom-quality results: premium stains, paints, lacquers, and polyester coatings, with color matching that lands exactly where your design calls for. It is the difference between "wood" and "finished."

Furniture & Finishing FAQ

Common questions

Do you build custom furniture?
Yes — dining tables, conference tables, live-edge slabs, and one-off commissioned pieces, designed and built in the species and finish you want.
Can you match a specific stain or finish color?
Color matching is a core part of our finishing work. Bring us a sample, an existing finish, or even a fabric, and we will mix a custom stain to match it.
What is polyester finishing?
Polyester is a high-build, furniture-grade finish that cures to an exceptionally hard, glass-smooth surface — ideal for tables and statement pieces that need both depth and durability. It is a specialty most general shops do not offer.
Can you refinish an existing piece of furniture?
Yes. We refinish and restore furniture and built-ins — stripping, repairing, re-staining, and re-coating to bring a piece back to a showroom finish.
How is your finishing different from a standard finish?
Our finishing department is dedicated to it — premium stains and topcoats, careful color matching, and coatings like lacquer and polyester applied in a controlled shop. The result holds up and looks the part for the long run.
Do you work with exotic woods?
Regularly. We source and finish mahogany, teak, Brazilian cherry, wenge, zebrawood, and more — bringing out the grain that makes those species worth specifying.
