FAQ

What type of wood do you work with?

I specialize in working with a wide range of hardwoods, including oak, walnut, cherry, and maple. Each project is unique, so I select the best wood based on the specific needs and aesthetic goals of the piece.

Do you offer custom furniture or only pre-made designs?

I offer fully customized furniture and woodworking projects. I work closely with clients to bring their vision to life, from initial design concepts to selecting the right wood and finishing touches.

What is your typical lead time for a custom piece?

Lead times vary depending on the complexity and size of the project. Typically, custom pieces take 6-8 weeks from the initial consultation to completion. For larger or more intricate projects, timelines may extend.

What finishes do you offer?

I use a variety of finishes, including oil, lacquer, and wax, depending on the desired look and durability. I’m happy to discuss finish options to ensure your piece has the perfect finish to match its use and environment.

Do you offer consultations for custom projects?

"From the quick and courteous communication, to the careful measuring, the cooperative design, and the excellent professional installation: Fabien Gilbert simply does superb work.
