Looking for an Artisan, Here’s What to Look For:
Make sure the wood has been properly dried
The drying process can’t be rushed. It usually takes 1-5 years to properly dry live edge material. In our journeys, we’ve seen people try to speed up this process and sell pieces made of wood that hasn’t properly dried. They’ll take a piece of wood and rush it into the kiln — and by doing so, they lock the moisture in the wood. Any piece made out of improperly dried wood will have a much higher likelihood of warping, cracking, and twisting as it continues to naturally dry in your home. We've acquired tools that test the internal core of the wood, so we know with certainty that the material we use has been dried correctly.
Wood that’s sourced from the right people, and for the right reasons
We’ve built relationships and partnered with a very select handful of mills and arborists in Central Ohio. If a tree must come down, we know they hold the same high standards we do when we fell a tree. Remaining eco-friendly, we do not use wood from healthy trees that were taken down purely for profit.
Ask the right questions about the process
A good craftsman of live edge furniture should be able to answer any and all questions about their product — including the finishing process, and the proper care and maintenance of the piece. We’ll take the time to explain everything we do and answer any questions you have. You’ll get a sense of our love for the craft and the pride we take in our work.
You get what you pay for
Much like other furniture, live edge furniture ranges in price. We aim to be 100% accessible and with little to no overhead costs to drive up customer pricing, we pride ourselves on competitive pricing below the best in Central Ohio. From sourcing to delivery, we do not cut corners and strive to create pieces that will exceed expectations.
We’re with you every step of the way
Every woodworking project we make is built to order and tells a unique story, and we want to make sure you know precisely how your new piece of furniture came to be. So, we’re happy to have you come to our shop to share your exact specifications anytime to see your work, and how we work. Or, if you’re not nearby, call text, or email us anytime and we’ll respond promptly - and, with pictures. Our job isn’t finished until you’re completely satisfied.
The bottom line: It takes time to do it right
From the hand-rounded edges and corners to the smallest swirl mark hardly noticeable to the human eye, we see all the details in each individual piece we make. And, we take the time to ensure each piece is up to our standards from the drying process to the finished product. We all live in a world of instant gratification, but that’s not the way we do business. Time, patience, dedication, and a healthy obsession with perfection are the keys to making a great piece of furniture. We believe you’ll notice the difference.
