Traditional Techniques We Preserve
Skills passed down through generations, maintained with pride
Hand-Cut Joinery
Dovetail, mortise and tenon, finger joints—our artisans cut these by hand, ensuring perfect fit and lasting strength. These joints have held furniture together for centuries and will continue to do so.
Relief Carving
From subtle texture to intricate patterns, our artisans use traditional carving tools to add depth and character to select pieces, creating visual interest that catches light beautifully.
Steam Bending
This ancient technique allows us to create graceful curves without compromising wood strength. Heated steam makes wood pliable, letting us shape it around forms to achieve flowing lines.
Hand Planing
While power tools have their place, nothing matches the surface quality achieved with a sharp hand plane. Our artisans can shave wood to paper-thin curls, creating glass-smooth surfaces.
