Question 1

What is your usual lead time?

Accepted Answer

Because our products are handcrafted and made to order, we need a little bit of time to create something beautiful. As of right now, our lead time is about 2-4 weeks depending on demand, materials, and shipping. However, we usually make great headway and complete it earlier.

Question 2

Can you do custom orders?

Accepted Answer

That depends on what it is! We've created beautiful items for customers, many of which were not initially offered in the shop. For example, the "Majestic Fountain Pen" was a custom order to celebrate a customer's 5-year work anniversary.  Another customer is a history teacher and one of his favorite to teach is the Civil War era. He requested a unique Gettysburg pen, and we were able to acquire Oak from a tree that would've witnessed the battle! We've done laser engraving on display boxes, pens, cutting boards, and even slate coasters. So, let us know what you're thinking.

Question 3

Why are handcrafted items so expensive?

Accepted Answer

I get it - it boggles my mind as well sometimes. Those who work in the trade understand the huge undertaking it is to create beautiful work. These aren't machine made in some offshore country. Rather, our products are hand turned right here in the U.S. Handcrafted items regardless of the material are always a great conversation piece. Plus, they hold their value and become great heirlooms and are stronger, more durable, and become more beautiful over time. You pay for the quality, tradition, craftsmanship, and care that goes in each product.
