Our custom woodworking process typically begins with a consultation to understand your vision, needs, desired style, dimensions, wood preferences, and budget. From there, we may develop a design concept or a software based 3D model. Once the design fits your imagination, we'll provide a detailed quote. Upon agreement, we begin crafting your piece, keeping you updated on progress. We focus on quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship to create a unique item you'll cherish.

Coda is our beloved dog and the namesake of Codas Customs and Collectibles! He represents loyalty, a friendly approach, and the "custom" nature of much of what we do – unique, just like him. While he doesn't actively participate in the handyman work (yet!), he's the heart of our brand.
