Commission FAQ’s
What kinds of custom commissions do you accept?
I am open to reviewing any idea you might have. If you have an idea inspired by my existing work or a general concept you’d like to explore, let’s discuss it.
What information should I provide when requesting a commission?
Helpful details include:
- The type of piece you’re interested in
- Intended size or placement
- Any themes, symbols, or inspiration
- A rough timeline (if applicable)
You don’t need everything figured out. A clear starting point is enough.
What materials do you use?
Most pieces are made from wood and other durable materials suited for long-term use and display. Specific materials depend on the design and will be discussed during the commission process.
How much do custom commissions cost?
Pricing depends on size, complexity, materials, and time required. Once I review your request, I’ll provide a clear quote before any work begins.
Custom work reflects the time, craftsmanship, and originality involved.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. Custom commissions typically require a deposit before work begins. This secures your place in my schedule and covers initial design and material costs.
Can I request changes during the process?
Minor adjustments may be possible early in the process. Once fabrication begins, changes are limited. This helps ensure quality and keeps timelines realistic.
Do you ship custom pieces?
Yes. Shipping options and costs are discussed as part of the quote. Larger or delicate pieces may require special packaging.
Do you accept rush orders?
Occasionally, depending on availability. Rush requests may involve additional fees and are not always possible.
What if my idea isn’t fully formed yet?
That’s completely fine. Many commissions start as rough ideas. Part of the process is refining your concept into something cohesive and buildable.
How do I get started?
Use the Custom Commissions form to submit your idea. I’ll review the request and follow up with next steps.
