What we've built

Every piece here was built for one person

Nothing in this gallery was mass produced or run off in a batch. Each one started as a drawing, got cut out line by line on the jigsaw, then sanded, painted and put together by our small family shop in Arkansas. Find something close to what you have in mind, send us a photo of exactly what you want, and we'll build yours around it.
