What types of custom woodworking does Flegel Woodcraft create?
Flegel Woodcraft creates a wide variety of custom woodwork, including custom wood furniture, custom cabinetry, built-ins, tables, desks, home office furniture, fireplace mantels, bookcases, kitchen features, vanities, bars, and unique concept pieces designed for a specific space or purpose.
Is every Flegel Woodcraft project custom made?
Yes. Projects are created around the client’s needs, space, dimensions, style, and design goals rather than being limited to standard mass-produced sizes or configurations. Visit our Custom Work page to learn more about the possibilities.
How do I start a custom woodworking project?
Start by contacting Flegel Woodcraft with a description of what you would like to create. Photos of the space, approximate dimensions, sketches, architectural plans, and inspiration images can all be helpful when discussing the project.
Do I need to have a finished design before contacting you?
No. You can contact Flegel Woodcraft with anything from a detailed plan to a general idea. The project can be developed around your functional needs, preferred style, available space, and design inspiration.
Can you create custom woodwork from a photo or inspiration image?
Inspiration photos can be a useful starting point for communicating the style and features you like. Flegel Woodcraft can use those ideas to develop an original piece tailored to your home, dimensions, and requirements rather than simply duplicating another design. You can also browse our custom woodworking gallery for inspiration.
Can you design custom furniture for a difficult or unusual space?
Yes. Custom woodworking is especially useful for unusual room dimensions, alcoves, corners, sloped ceilings, architectural features, and spaces where standard furniture or cabinetry does not fit properly. Our custom concept woodwork is especially well suited to unique spaces and original ideas.
What wood species are available for custom projects?
Wood selection depends on the project, desired appearance, durability requirements, finish, and other design considerations. Flegel Woodcraft can discuss appropriate wood options based on the piece you are planning.
Can you match existing woodwork or furniture in my home?
Existing cabinetry, trim, furniture, flooring, and architectural details can be considered when selecting the wood, finish, proportions, hardware, and overall style for a new custom piece.
Can I choose the stain, paint color, finish, and hardware?
Depending on the project, these details can be selected as part of the design process. Finish and hardware choices can help a custom piece coordinate with the surrounding room or create a distinctive focal point.
Can you incorporate storage into custom furniture?
Yes. Drawers, cabinets, shelving, file storage, concealed compartments, display areas, and other storage features can often be incorporated into custom furniture and built-ins. For larger storage projects, explore our custom cabinetry and custom built-in bookshelves.
Do you work with interior designers and architects?
Yes. Flegel Woodcraft can collaborate with interior designers, architects, builders, and other professionals when custom woodworking is part of a larger interior design, renovation, or construction project.
Can you work from architectural drawings or plans?
Yes. Architectural drawings, room plans, measurements, elevations, sketches, and other project documents can be helpful when custom woodworking needs to coordinate with surrounding construction or design elements.
Do you create one-of-a-kind furniture pieces?
Yes. Flegel Woodcraft creates original custom wood furniture and concept pieces when a client wants something designed specifically for a particular room, function, style, or idea.
Can one project combine furniture, cabinetry, and built-ins?
Yes. A larger project may incorporate several types of custom woodworking so that furniture, cabinetry, shelving, and architectural woodwork share complementary materials, proportions, finishes, and details.
Do you make different types of custom wood tables?
Yes. Flegel Woodcraft creates custom wood tables including dining tables, hall and console tables, entryway tables, coffee tables, side tables, accent tables, and unique specialty designs.
