One person. One bench. One board at a time.
End-grain isn't fast. A single board passes through many hours of milling, gluing, flattening, and finishing before it's ready to leave the shop. I don't make many. I make them right.
Every piece carries the marks of its making — the grain that caught the light a certain way, the joint that lined up perfectly, the small irregularities that prove a hand was here.
