We can build any wooden project for you, either on-sight or delivered. When determining the best wood to use for your project, please consider the location and intended use; woods like cypress and cedar do well in outdoor settings and can prevent bugs, while woods like oak and pine work better indoors and are prized for their durability. Whitewood is primarily used for larger projects due to their lightness and cheaper cost, but tend to be soft and tear up easily.
While the below estimate calculator is a good tool to determine the rough cost of your project, every build is different and several factors can effect the overall cost. In general, a longer width/length tends to decrease lumber cost and a longer depth tends to increase cost. The type of wood also greatly effects cost, with hardwoods like oak and cypress costing significantly more than soft woods like yellow pine or whitewood.
Most projects can be designed and built at our workshop, then delivered. For larger, custom projects we do prefer to perform a consultation "on-site" to ensure measurements and design work for the space. Smaller projects like chairs and bookshelves do not always require a consultation, but we do ask you to double check all measurements.
We specialize in a number of wooden projects, and can engineer almost anything you need. From bookshelves to toy boxes, please let us know what we can design for you.
A bench with closeable lid, which can store pillows and blankets inside while not in use.
Adirondack chair built out of bug repellant cedar, sanded and finished with clear coat sealant to make it weather-proof.
Toy box built to look like a log cabin with hydraulic arms to make it easy to open and closes slowly to prevent hurting fingers.
Estimate calculator will only give an approximate estimate of how much a project will cost. Several factors may effect the final cost of the project, and these factors may not be accounted for by the calculator. The final cost will be determined after project completion.
1) In the first box, enter the length (in inches) of the project to be built.
2) In the second box, enter the width (in inches) of the project to be built.
3) In the third box, enter the height (in inches) of the project to be built.
4) In the fourth box, enter 1 if the project is to be built out of whitewood, enter 1.5 for yellow pine, enter 2 for cedar, enter 2.5 for cypress, and enter 3 for oak.
5) In the fifth box, enter the distance in miles from 815 Snow Hill Road, Durham, NC 27712, to the address of delivery.
6) In the sixth box, if the project is to be left rough (not sanded or finished with paint) enter "1", if the project is to be sanded and finished enter "5".
7) In the seventh box, if the project is un-sanded and unfinished enter "0", if the project is to be painted with a clear coat sealer or is to be painted white or any other color enter "2", and if the project is to be painted white or a colorful paint and sealed enter "4".
