Joinery

Traditional and modern joinery techniques account for the natural movement of wood and increase the longevity of each piece. This is more time consuming than production furniture processes but it results in a piece which will age well and be visibly higher in quality.

Veneering

Wood veneering provides the opportunity to sustainably use domestic and exotic species while providing more stability for specific applications. Using both shop swan veneer from solid wood and manufactured veneer, the opportunities for creative customization are infinite.

Bent Lamination

Bent Lamination allows for solid wood to be formed into curves. This technique is an excellent way to create unique and interesting shapes while maintaining the strength of the wood.

Grain Selection

The wood for each piece is hand selected and the grain orientation is considered with painstaking detail. This part of the process is essential to invest time into as it results in a more cohesive piece. Things like density, colour, figure, grain direction, and chatoyance are all taken into consideration before the first piece of wood is cut.
