Our Process

Thoughtful Wood Selection

At Vestige, we select solid wood for its enduring character, grain patterns that speak for themselves. Our finishes enhance natural beauty, never hiding it. Every material is chosen to ensure your piece ages gracefully, with integrity that lasts a lifetime. We believe that handselecting naturally beautiful wood for each product heightens the final beauty of our builds.

Handcrafted, from Me to You

In my woodshop-studio, tucked by the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, I personally build each piece. I know every curve, every joint, I work with. This is a one-on-one process, my hands bring your unique piece to life, inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds me.

An Exclusive, Enduring Heirloom

“Each piece we craft is truly one of a kind. Whether it’s inspired by a known design, one of our collections, or fully bespoke, no two are ever identical. We celebrate that singularity. Your piece is a story in wood, crafted exclusively for you, never repeated.”

How It Works

  • 1

    Connect & Inspire

Reach out via form, call, or email. Share your vision—whether it’s one of our signature designs or something entirely bespoke. We listen closely and provide an initial estimate.

  • 2

    Design Consultation

We start with a conversation.

After you receive your estimate, we have a phone call to talk through your ideas, the space, the materials you’re drawn to, and how you want the piece to feel and function. This is where we ask questions, share ideas, and make sure we’re aligned before moving forward.

No sketching yet- just a focused conversation to define direction and possibilities.

    Design Exploration, and Material Selection

Once the direction is clear, we move into the design and material selection phase. A 25% refundable deposit begins this step.

  • I source and hand-select slabs, sending real photos of the options-no stock images.
  • We explore layouts, details, and (if applicable) epoxy colors.
  • I create several 3D mockups using the actual slabs so you can see your piece come to life before we commit.

Once the design and slabs are approved, an additional 25% deposit is collected (50% total, now non-refundable) materials are reserved, and the build begins.

    The Build

The piece is built by hand in our studio.

Every cut, joint, and detail is done with precision and intention.

You’ll receive progress updates along the way so you can see the transformation from raw material to finished piece.

We finalize any small details together - like finish tone or final epoxy color- as the piece takes shape.

    Delivery and Placement

When the piece is complete, we’ll schedule delivery.

For projects within range, delivery and installation are included. The piece is brought into the space, set in place, and adjusted as needed.
