Our Process
Consult & Conceptualize
Whether you walk in with a vision or just a spark of inspiration, we’ll guide you through wood selection, design options, finishes, and epoxy color palettes. Want something bold and modern? Rustic and organic? Let’s dream it up together.
Select the Perfect Slab
We handpick premium hardwood slabs — think walnut, maple, white oak — many of which are harvested locally in Western North Carolina. For bookmatched tables, we find mirror-image slabs from the same tree for a dramatic, natural symmetry.
Craft with Intention
Using traditional woodworking techniques alongside modern artistry (hello, epoxy rivers!), our team shapes, joins, and finishes each piece with precision. Every curve, edge, and pour is intentional — built to last generations, not just seasons.
Deliver & Install
Once your custom piece is complete, we offer white-glove delivery and expert installation anywhere in the Asheville area and beyond. We don’t just drop it off — we make sure it’s placed and showcased the way it deserves.
