Custom work · Powell & Columbus, Ohio
Start with what the piece needs to accomplish.
A room, a dimension, a frustration, a reference photo, or a rough sketch is enough to begin. Custom coffee tables, console tables, dining tables, shelving, and other purpose-built furniture are designed in Powell for homes across Columbus and Central Ohio.
The build path
Four honest stages.
Refine
Steve develops the proportions, construction direction, material choices, and quote.
Build
After approval and deposit, the piece moves through the shop with progress updates.
Handoff
The finished work is reviewed before pickup, delivery, or shipping arrangements.
Made in the shop
The same builder handles design, joinery, surface preparation, finish, and final inspection.
What matters early
Bring the useful information.
DimensionsThe space available, the target height, and anything the piece must clear or align with.
PurposeWhat it will hold, how often it will be used, and what currently is not working.
DirectionReference images, preferred woods, existing furniture, or simply what you do not want.
BudgetA realistic range helps shape material and construction choices before design time is wasted.
Project notes
What you should know.
Materials
Solid hardwoods and appropriate supporting materials are selected for the job. When the right project calls for it, locally sourced hardwood may come through Oakmond Design in nearby Delaware, Ohio, including recovered trees from around Powell and Delaware County. Material and known provenance are discussed before the quote is finalized.
Timeline
Each build receives a project-specific schedule. Complexity, material availability, finish requirements, and the current shop queue all matter.
Pricing
Pricing is based on actual scope, material, construction, and finish. A custom quote follows the initial project conversation.
Changes
Changes are easiest before milling begins. Once material is cut, scope changes may affect price and schedule.
