Custom Butcher Block Islands
The ultimate kitchen centerpiece. We design modern islands that become the heart of the Ohio kitchen. From professional-grade end-grain “chopping blocks” to oversized walnut slabs with seating overhangs, we build islands that stone simply can’t match.
The “professional” choice. These are built with the wood fibers facing up, making them self-healing & incredibly durable for daily knife work.
The most stable and popular choice for large islands, showing off the long, elegant grain of the wood.
We specialize in oversized builds that require seamless on-site joining and vertical grain transitions that “drop” to the floor.
Live Edge Bars & Countertops
Raw, organic, and one-of-a-kind. We preserve the natural edge of the tree to create showpiece surfaces for vanities, coffee bars, and accents that bring the outdoors in.
Wood Slabs & Countertops
A custom wood slab is the ultimate “Statement Piece.” Unlike traditional butcher block, a slab preserves the natural grain, character and organic “live edge” of the tree.
Live Edge Wood & Epoxy Resin Designs
Where nature meets modern art. We fuse live-edge wood slabs with custom-colored epoxy resins to create unique “river” tables and bar tops that serve as functional conversation pieces.
Custom Cabinets
Custom cabinets and built–ins handcrafted in Medina, OH. We build from scratch or install pre-built with custom fronts — in maple, walnut, oak, cherry & exotic woods.
Custom Wood Barn Doors
Unlike mass-produced doors that warp over time, our barn doors are engineered from kiln-dried hardwoods and premium reclaimed timbers. We use traditional joinery and internal structural bracing to ensure your door stays perfectly square, year after year.
- Modern Industrial Slats – Clean, vertical lines using Black Walnut or Rift-Sawn Oak.
- The Artisan “X” & Herringbone – Classic farmhouse charm with a master-craftsman finish.
- Live-Edge “Bookmatched” Doors – The ultimate showpiece. We use two consecutive slabs from the same tree to create a “mirror” effect, preserving the raw organic edge.
Custom Floating Shelves
Professional-grade Solid hardwood shelving—not hollow veneers. Our 2-inch thick shelves are built to handle the weight of real life while adding a clean, modern aesthetic to your space.
Live Edge Wood Mantels
Make your fireplace a focal point. We hand-select massive timber slabs to create architectural mantels that anchor your room with the timeless strength of solid Oak or Walnut.
