The Custom Process
Every custom sign starts with your vision. Simply fill out the inquiry form and share your inspiration, size, and ideas. I'll take it from there. Each piece is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted just for you, from the very first layer to the final finish.
The Steps
Step 1 – Start Your Project
Fill out the inquiry form and share your vision, preferred size, inspiration, and investment range. This is where it all begins.
Step 2 – Proposal
You'll receive a detailed proposal outlining the scale, materials, timeline, and investment for your piece.
Step 3 – Approval & Deposit
A 50% deposit is required to begin design and production. The remaining balance plus shipping is due prior to shipping.
Step 4 – Digital Proof
A custom digital proof is created for your review before anything is cut. Every detail including balance, scale, and composition is carefully considered in the design before production begins.
Step 5 – Fabrication
Each layer is precision cut, carefully sanded, painted by hand, and assembled in the studio with close attention to detail.
Step 6 – Finishing & Mounting
Protective coatings are applied and a professional French cleat mounting system is prepared for secure, clean installation.
Investment
Custom pieces begin at $800 plus shipping. Final pricing is determined after your inquiry is reviewed and is based on the scale of the piece, level of detail, and selected materials. Each design is created specifically for your space with careful attention to composition, craftsmanship, and finish.
Pricing Factors
Pricing is influenced by overall size and scale, number of layered elements, wood selection and specialty materials, and framing or acrylic additions. A 50% deposit is required to begin design and production. The remaining balance plus shipping is due prior to shipment.
Materials & Options
Each sign is crafted using carefully selected materials chosen for durability, depth, and a beautiful finished result. Premium hardwoods including walnut, white oak, white birch, and Baltic birch are selected based on the needs of each design. Each wood is chosen for its natural character, grain, and ability to hold fine detail beautifully. Select designs incorporate a smooth composite wood base that allows for precise dimensional carving and exceptional detail. Acrylic overlays with raised standoffs or custom framing details may be incorporated based on the needs of the design. Material selections will affect final pricing.
Packaging & Shipping
Every sign is thoughtfully packaged with the same care that goes into creating it.
I ship throughout the contiguous United States. Shipping costs are calculated based on the size, weight, and destination of your order. Once your sign ships, you'll receive tracking information so you can follow its journey to your door.
