Common Questions About Our Woodworking Services

What kinds of woodworking projects can you build for my home?

We build all types of woodworking projects, including furniture, built-ins, tables, shelving, chairs, mantels, and even custom wood carving pieces. Whether you need simple objects or large projects, we can help you create something special. We use both hand tools and power tools, like a drum sander, drill press, and high-quality woodworking clamps, to make precise cuts and a clean finished product. We work with wood, plywood, hardwood, reclaimed trees, and other materials commonly used in the craft

Can you help me design my project if I only have a few ideas?

Yes, we’re happy to help you shape your ideas into a solid plan. We sketch plans, review styles, look at your space, and talk through materials you like. We consider the grain, shapes, and look of the wood so the final wooden piece fits your home. If you’re trying to learn woodworking, we can also explain simple techniques and tips so you understand the process behind your project.

How long does a woodworking project usually take?

Smaller projects like shelves or small woodcarving pieces may take a few days. Bigger buildings or full-room built-ins can take a few weeks. The timeline depends on the materials, the development of the design, the level of carving, and how much gluing, sanding, shaping, and finishing is involved. We’ll always give you a clear time estimate before we start so you can plan your workshop or home schedule around it.

What kinds of tools and materials do you use?

We use a mix of quality tools, including hand tools like chisels, a hammer, and other woodworking tools, along with power tools such as a saw, drill, drill bit, and machines like a drum sander or drill press. These help us make reliable, precise cuts and smooth surfaces. We choose the right material for each project, whether it’s hardwood, plywood, or other materials that work well with your design. Clamps, pens for marking, and measuring tools keep everything accurate as we work.

Do you work with reclaimed wood or local wood?

Yes, we often use reclaimed wood from the Decatur area. It’s closely tied to the history of our community and makes great use of first materials that still have years of life left in them. Reclaimed woods also give your finished product a unique look, with natural grain and styles you don’t always find in new boards. Many local homeowners enjoy this personal touch.

Can you match my current furniture or trim?

Absolutely. We look at your existing furniture, chairs, table, trim, or posts and match the wood, grain, and finish as closely as possible. This includes matching stains, shapes, and older techniques if needed. Our woodworkers understand how different woods react during sanding, sawing, or finishing, so the new piece blends in nicely with your home.

How much will my project cost?

The cost depends on the size of the project, the type of wood, the amount of carving, the style, and whether we’re working with special materials. More detailed shaping, art elements, or complex builds can increase the price. We’ll talk through everything—materials, supplies, tools, and the whole process, so your budget stays on track. No hidden fees, and no surprise add-ons.

How do I get started on a custom woodworking project with you?

The first step is easy: just give us a call. We’ll chat about your ideas, the materials you like, the objects or furniture you want us to create, and the site where it will go. From there, we’ll sketch designs, go over plans, pick the right wood, and get your project moving. Whether you're a homeowner or a beginner who's curious about how woodwork comes together, we explain everything in a simple, friendly way. You’re also welcome to share photos, videos, or comments from media posts that inspired you.
