Why Custom Sizing
If It Doesn't Fit Off the Shelf, I'll Build It to Fit.
Most custom wood shops offer one or two standard sizes and stop there. I don't work that way. If you need a cutting board longer than standard to span your counter, a sign sized precisely to a wall you've already measured, a box built to hold a specific set of medals or keepsakes, or a pedestal at an exact height — give me your measurements and I'll tell you what's possible.
Custom sizing is available on most pieces and adds little to no cost for straightforward dimension changes. The most important thing is to ask before assuming it can't be done. The answer is usually yes.
"Most people don't ask because they assume it's impossible. Ask. Nine times out of ten, I can do it."

How to Request a Custom Size
What to Tell Me When You Contact Me
Measurements to include
Length × Width × Height (or diameter if round) in inches. If you're sizing to fit a specific space, include the maximum dimensions the piece can be — I'll work within those constraints. Don't worry about being perfect: approximate measurements are fine as a starting point and we'll confirm exact specs before I cut anything.
What the piece needs to do
Tell me the intended use — is this a cutting board for a large kitchen island, a sign for a specific wall, a box to hold a particular set of items? Knowing the function helps me advise on thickness, joinery, and construction so the piece is built right for its purpose — not just to your dimensions.
Photos help
If you're sizing a piece to fit a specific space — a wall, a shelf, a counter — a photo of the space is worth a thousand words. Send it along with your inquiry and I can often give you a much better recommendation for dimensions than measurements alone.
Pricing for Custom Sizes
How Custom Sizing Affects Price
Small adjustments — no added cost
Adding an inch or two, subtracting a few inches, adjusting thickness slightly — these changes typically don't affect the price. The material cost difference is minimal and I absorb it as part of the custom order process.
Significant size changes — adjusted pricing
A piece that's substantially larger than standard (double the size, or made from significantly more material) will be priced accordingly. I'll always give you the adjusted price before you commit — no surprises at checkout.
