You can contact me via e-mail at dan@danswoodworking.com to discuss your ideas. I'll be happy to turn your ideas into a working design as we progress towards your piece of custom furniture.

If it's a large piece, sometimes it's best to meet with a client in their home to see where the new piece is going to be displayed, how it will be used, and how it will match the other furnishings in the space. Your existing furnishings can say a lot about your tastes and I try to incorporate those elements into the new piece.

I begin the design process with a few basic questions about what you envision and require. After I provide a rough sketch of the piece, the details are then refined to develop a final 3-D rendering of the piece. If appropriate, I also incorporate that model full scale in a photo of the space where it will eventually be. Some clients like to leave it up to me to decide some of the details, and I'm happy to offer any creative input. I've been doing this for awhile, and I'm pretty good at knowing what works and what looks the best.

Remember - this is a custom piece. If you've seen exactly what you want at the mall, then that's what you should buy. Having a piece custom made is more expensive than buying something made at the factory, but a hand made custom piece can become an heirloom to be passed on and a distinct expression of your style. You can be confident that your custom piece will be made with the best materials and finished with the utmost attention to detail. That is not something you're going to get at the mall.
