Commissions & contact

Some of the best pieces we've made started as somebody's idea — a retirement flag for a firefighter, boards for a wedding, a sign with the family name on it. Here's how to start yours.

Message us

Send us a message right here — it lands straight in the shop's email inbox. Tell us what you're dreaming up, roughly when you need it, and — for engraved pieces — the name or words you want on it.

Have an SVG or a photo for an engraving? Send this message first, then use the “Email us your file” button below — it opens an email addressed to the shop with your file attached, and lands in the same inbox.

Your details go straight to our inbox — no mailing list, and we never sell your information.

Email us your file (SVG, photo…)

Opens Gmail with our address filled in — just attach your file and hit send. No Gmail? Email the file to [email protected] from any mail app.

How a commission goes

1. The conversation. We talk through the piece — size, wood, engraving, budget.

2. The quote. You get a straight price and a realistic timeline before any wood is cut. The shop runs evenings and weekends, so custom work is scheduled honestly, not promised overnight.

3. The build. Your piece comes off the same bench as everything in the gallery — and when it's done, it's packed and shipped with the same care, anywhere in the continental US.

Ready-made pieces live in our Square store — secure checkout, shipping included in the price, anywhere in the continental US.
