Hand and machine, in equal measure.

Services

What we make

Every job begins with a conversation, a site visit, or a salvaged sample in hand. We will tell you, honestly, whether your project is one we are best suited to take on.

01

Custom Mouldings

Knife-ground profiles, crowns, casings, baseboards, panel mouldings, and built-up assemblies in matched species.

02

Sash & Storm Windows

True divided-light sash with mortise-and-tenon joinery, hand-glazed using linseed oil putty over period-appropriate glass.

03

Staircases & Railings

Hand-turned newels, balusters, volutes, and steam-bent handrail in oak, walnut, mahogany, or chestnut.

04

Wainscot & Panelling

Raised, flat, and beadboard panelling with shop-applied period finishes — shellac, milk paint, and oil.

05

Survey & Documentation

Field measurement, profile rubbings, CAD drawings, and historic-tax-credit documentation packages.

06

Historic Assessments & National Register

Architectural-historian-led condition assessments, National Register nominations, and historic tax credit packages — see the dedicated Assessments page.

The Floor

CNC and traditional bench, side by side.

An industrial CNC machine and a complete traditional woodshop share 1,400 square feet at 915 George Street. The CNC handles repetition, complex geometry, and tight tolerances; the traditional bench handles knife-cut profiles, joinery, and the things only a hand can resolve.
