Custom and small-batch woodworking in Charleston, West Virginia

Custom Woodworking. Built Beyond the Ordinary.

I build useful wood pieces with careful attention to the job they need to do. Computer Numerical Control carving, laser engraving, epoxy resin, and three-dimensional printing support the woodwork when they make the finished piece better.

What I Work With

Woodworking stays at the center. The other tools help with detail, repeatability, personalization, or parts that solve a specific problem.

Woodworking

Custom pieces, practical small-batch work, signs, displays, serving pieces, wall art, personalized gifts, and outdoor décor built around the intended use.

Computer Numerical Control Carving

Computer Numerical Control (CNC) carving helps with repeatable shapes, lettering, relief work, pockets, templates, and precise details in suitable materials.

Laser Engraving

My 5.5-watt laser is used for engraving and light-material work when the material and design test well. It is not treated as a substitute for heavy cutting tools.

Epoxy Resin

Resin can add color, fill, contrast, or a mixed-material element when the design and intended use make sense.

Three-Dimensional Printing

Three-dimensional printing is useful for selected parts, fixtures, templates, and details that support a woodworking project.

How Custom Work Starts

  1. Share the idea
    Tell me what the piece needs to do, its rough size, your budget range, target date, and destination.
  2. I review the fit
    I check the materials, tools, schedule, delivery or shipping, and whether the work fits my shop.
  3. Approve the written terms
    If it is a fit, I provide the design details, estimate, expected timing, payment terms, and delivery plan in writing.
  4. I build the piece
    Work begins after the design and written terms are approved and any case-by-case initial payment has cleared.

How Custom Work Works

How Vern's Started

Vern is my family nickname. After work, I would head to the garage, have a beer, and unwind by making sawdust. Five years of woodworking later, that garage hobby has grown into a small business built from my private shop in Charleston.

The Spirits are part of the origin story. The woodworking is what I sell.

Send the use, size, budget range, timing, and destination. I usually reply within one to three business days and will tell you plainly whether the work fits my shop.
