Our Process

Consult & Conceptualize – Your Vision, Our Craftsmanship



Whether you bring a full design or just an idea, we’ll walk you through the process — from selecting the perfect hardwood to choosing finishes and epoxy color palettes. Want bold and modern, or something rustic and organic? We bring your vision to life, right here in the Charlotte area.


Select the Perfect Slab – Handpicked for Character

We source premium slabs of walnut, maple, and white oak — many from the forests of Western North Carolina. For bookmatched tables, we find twin slabs from the same tree to create stunning symmetry that’s both natural and dramatic.


Craft with Intention – Built for Generations

Our artisans blend old-world woodworking with modern techniques like epoxy resin to create functional, artistic furniture. Every joint, edge, and pour is done with purpose — resulting in heirloom-quality pieces built to last a lifetime.
