BUILT AROUND YOUR NEEDS

CUSTOM WOODWORK, DESIGNED WITH PURPOSE

A custom piece should solve the right problem, fit the space, and feel distinctly yours. I work with you to refine the dimensions, materials, function, and details before building each piece in my Downers Grove workshop.

From one-of-a-kind furniture to personalized home goods, every project begins with a conversation and a clear proposal covering the design, price, and expected timeline.


What I Build

  • Custom furniture, including tables, nightstands, benches, and storage pieces
  • Pet furniture and elevated feeding stations
  • Cutting boards, serving boards, and specialty kitchen pieces
  • Personalized hardwood home goods and decorative accents
  • Other thoughtfully designed pieces that fit the Trail’s Edge approach


Materials You Can Count On

I primarily use North American hardwoods—including walnut, cherry, maple, and white oak—along with finishes selected for the needs of each piece. Every project is built and inspected in my Downers Grove workshop with careful attention to durability, function, and detail.


How the Custom Process Works

  1. Share your idea — photos, sketches, dimensions, and how the piece needs to function
  2. Develop the design together — I create and refine the design with your feedback until the direction feels right
  3. Review the proposal — design direction, materials, price, and expected timeline
  4. Approve the project — materials are sourced and the build is scheduled
  5. Follow the progress — updates and photographs are shared during the build
  6. Receive your piece — delivery, shipping, or pickup is arranged as appropriate

Custom Order Inquiry Form

What approximate dimensions or space are you working with? Include any known width, depth, height, or room constraints. Estimates are fine.

Tell me about the piece you have in mind. Describe how it will be used, the style you prefer, materials or colors you’re considering, and anything else that matters to the project.
