A typical commercial project can be completed in 6-8 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the project. We always set expectations accurately once the project is fully scoped. Our projects are typically first-come, first-served, but if a hard deadline is in place that can’t be moved we will work with you to see if there is any way to complete the project within your time frame.
As woodworkers and craftsmen at our core, wood is our primary medium. We select the wood for your project based on the requirements of the planned use. We consult with you to determine what fits your vision aesthetically and suits durability and functional needs.
Despite the ‘grain’ in our name though, our creators can have experience with vast materials, finishes, and tools. We can scratch glass, laser and carve wood or metal, or cut acrylic using either CNC and laser technology. Our CNC router can also scratch designs onto glass. Our tools enable us to achieve a polished, clear or a more organic look. We do not work extensively with metals, except for aluminum and brass engraving.
Our expertise in high density urethane (HDU), which is weather-resistant and allows for intricate carvings. We can also use polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) to create stencils and work with reclaimed wood on a case-by-case basis. Other sealants, stains, or finishes are also available.
From luxury retail displays to custom furniture for dozens of locations, we are prepared to manage small or large projects. We have experience working on custom woodworking projects for commercial and residential businesses across the United States. As an idea of the types of project we often complete, but are in no way limited to crafting, see below:

Yes! We collaborate with other businesses in the field of metal fabrication. Our team has worked alongside a well-known architect named Peter Zumthor from the Swiss Alps. Zumthor specializes in creating exquisite stone furniture, paving, and outdoor features that are handmade and can enhance the beauty of any space. Additionally, we have a relationship with a custom metal table base design company who compliments our wood tables exceptionally well. We are always open to new ideas and materials!
Our products are sourced from organizations that possess a Certificate of Conformity (COC), which collaborates with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) to encourage the responsible management of global forests. The Green Certificate from Smith Creek has recognized the FSC for its recycling efforts of more than one million pounds of wood waste each year. In order to promote environmental stewardship and improvement, we support its efforts in repurposing and reusing wood products or debris.
