With custom desks, the calculations in terms of clearance are different than other furniture. The imperative is to make everything as “handy” as possible for maximum productivity. For this project, the client wanted access to cabinetry to be close by. We incorporated a custom cabinet within the design. See pics below. Continue reading →

The joinery of our reclaimed desks can be done in many creative ways. For this desk project, we did a circular part at the corner of the desk. See pics below. Continue reading →

For over 8 years we’ve offered our ‘greytone treatment’. This was one of the first unique options we offered years ago. This purpose of this option was simple – get a finished [with clearcoat] product that KEEPS the colour/tones of unfinished. Our experienced finisher Kim came up with this option and it has been a successful option for many customers!

was the fact that the unfinished colour still has brown tones. If you take a dry piece of wood and make it wet it darkens up; with authentic reclaimed it darkens up a lot. This is fine and the natural colour is 90% of what our customers love and order. But if you want the colour of unfinished, with no brown tones, it was basically impossible.

We’ve already done a few projects. We did this Toronto desk project using this method [see pics below]: Continue reading →

A newer colour/finishing option is our barnboard greytone treatment. We were getting requests for a ‘grey barnboard’ colour more often. The issue – only exterior, heavily distressed boards have this color given their exposure to the sun. Such boards are often too distressed to build solid furniture from.

While not the natural colour, through R&D + trial and error our experienced spray finisher Kim managed to get the colour of exterior boards on the internal boards we use. You’ll still see & feel the original distressing & the tight [old growth] wood grain.

We’ve done a few projects with this option already! Check out this desk project we did for a Toronto office (see pics below): Continue reading →
