• In our approach to furniture design, we determine the best joinery application based on function and aesthetics. Our joinery is typically done with a combination of hand-tools and modern equipment, giving us the flexibility of using traditional craftsperson techniques with modernized accuracy.
• We pay close attention to the natural process of seasonal wood movement in our designs. This ensures that the strength of our joinery isn't compromised with changes in humidity levels.
• We often source and harvest lumber from local fallen trees and try to incorporate domestic, local wood as often as possible.
• We use nontoxic and natural materials such as undyed Danish cord, hyde glue, and shellac flake finish when appropriate.
