What we Make

From a simple engraving to a piece with layered color, we choose the tools that bring your idea to life.

Woodworking

Signs, displays, serving pieces, wall art, and personalized gifts made with everyday use in mind.

CNC Carving

Our CNC lets us carve names, artwork, and shapes into wood, from a sign to a neatly fitted desk display.

Laser Engraving

Our 5.5-watt laser adds names, artwork, and personal messages to gifts and wood pieces.

Epoxy Resin

Epoxy lets us add color, set lettering into a piece, or pair a glossy resin finish with natural wood.

3D Printing

Our 3D printer makes custom lettering and small details, like the letters set into our epoxy desk nameplate.

How Custom Work Starts

  1. Share the idea. Tell us what the piece needs to do, its rough size, your budget range, target date, and destination.
  2. We work out the details. We'll discuss the design, materials, price, and timing with you.
  3. Approve the written terms. If it is a fit, we provide the design details, estimate, expected timing, payment terms, and delivery plan in writing.
  4. We build the piece. Work begins after the design and written terms are approved and any case-by-case initial payment has cleared.

How Vern's Started

Vern is our founder's family nickname. What began as a garage hobby after work grew into our woodworking shop in Charleston.

The spirits are part of how we started. The woodworking is what we love to share.
