Handmade Solid Wood Furniture Studio
Built by hand, joined to last
Grain & Joint builds every piece from solid hardwood, joined the way furniture was joined before particleboard existed — dovetails, mortise-and-tenon, no staples, no shortcuts you can't see.
One floor, one wood, no particleboard
Grain & Joint opened in 2013 in a single converted mill floor, and everything still happens under that one roof — milling, joinery, assembly, and finishing, by the same small crew from first cut to delivery.
Every joint is cut to be seen, not hidden under a panel. If you turn a piece over, the joinery is the same on the underside as it is on the front — that's the whole standard we hold ourselves to.
- Solid hardwood only — no MDF, no particleboard
- Hand-cut dovetail & mortise-and-tenon joinery
- Locally sourced walnut, white oak & maple
- Every commission signed and dated underneath
From the bench
Six things we build regularly, plus anything you can sketch and we can source the wood for.
Dining Tables
Solid-slab and trestle tables built to your room, seat count, and wood.
Case Furniture
Dressers, sideboards, and cabinets, dovetailed drawer by drawer.
Seating
Dining chairs, benches, and stools, shaped and joined for daily use.
Custom Commissions
Bring a sketch, a photo, or a rough idea — we'll draw it up before any wood is cut.
Wood Selection Consult
An in-shop walk through the slab rack before you commit to a species or grain pattern.
Repair & Refinishing
Loose joints reglued, tabletops resurfaced, old finishes stripped and rebuilt by hand.
Judge it from underneath
Anyone can finish the top well. We hold ourselves to the joint nobody's supposed to see.
Inside the workshop
From the floor
"I turned the dresser over just to see the joints. Every drawer is dovetailed, not a staple anywhere."
"They walked me through the slab rack before cutting anything. The table matches the sketch I brought in almost exactly."
"Refinished my grandfather's desk instead of replacing it. It looks better than I remember it looking new."
