This item is made to order, meaning each piece is individually crafted and may require additional time for materials to be sourced. If specific characteristics—such as a certain grain pattern in wood or a particular shade in stone—are important to you, I’m happy to work with you to create a piece that best suits your preferences. Due to the natural variation in materials, no two pieces will ever be identical; differences in color, grain, patina, or inclusions make each one completely unique. The photos provided are examples of previous work in this shape and style, but the final piece may vary slightly in size by a millimeter or two. If you have any custom requests or specific requirements, feel free to reach out—I’ll do my best to accommodate them!
