Longing Woodworks Company

Our prices vary (we know that may be frustrating!), but think of it like this. If you went into a restaurant and had hundreds of foods to choose from, from all over the world that were not yet made, how would you price a very specific dish that had not been designed and made? That is what it is like with wood! Some wood is quite expensive, others woods are very economical. But, then depending on complexity of a project, the size and the scope of it can change a price too. If you have a budget, that helps us very much and we can begin working towards a goal/design/ product and you can soon have what you came looking for! So in summary, it depends on wood, design, hardware, scope of project ect., but whatever it is we can help find the sweet-spot on what you want to spend. We have a three-tiered design/build approach. Basic: inexpensive wood and simple joinery; middle of the road; better wood and more involved joinery; top-notch; high end joinery and expensive wood.

We access what it is you want/need made. We tell you whether or not we can do it (most of the time we do it!). We ask for pictures of what you want made (drawings are extra and can be credited to your final invoice). We send you an invoice, which you can then pay directly online! We give you a timeline on when it will be done. We may send you samples of wood. We make it for you. Then we deliver it/install/ship it!

We have extensive real world experience that shows in our projects, having been fortunate to have worked along side carpenters of many walks of life. We have been a part of a timberframing project with the founder of Heartwood Timber Framing School in Massachusetts having done a Sawmill Restoration project with the Timberframers Guild. We have over a decade experience making, designing custom wood products.

We got our start when we were young, growing up making things with our hands under our father's watchful patient eye and taking two years of industrial arts shop class and working on beautiful old American made cast iron machines. Plus, grit, application, determination and the entrepreneurial spirit!

We have worked with La Prima Coffee, Mechanic Coffee, Quantum Bean Coffee, homeowners, doctors, entrepreneurs, and everywhere in between.

We were contacted by a man who had a client that was building a very expensive home that wanted piece suitable for their kitchen. It was a 52x52 inch high, by 34" high, black walnut, butcher-block island that had 6" round legs (see our portfolio!) and it was all end grain. It was challenging, rewarding and absolutely lovely.

Be honest about yourself to us! We are all different and we work with many different people. If we know what you are like and you know what we are like then we are bound to be successful....together. So, communication is key. We will do our best to sort out the best approach to how we might be the perfect match, or not. We want you to be happy, but we want to be happy too as it pertains to the work we do. Last thing, if you are expecting something that has any resemblance to products from big box stores, we are probably not for you. We make things by hand!

Folks typically ask these questions. So, what do you make? We make anything you want us to! We have made beds, cabinets, builtin bookshelves, doors, furniture, and more! How long will my project take? It all depends on what you are having made. Are you taking on new projects/clients? Yes, always!
