Custom Cutting and other Services

You can now order some custom services right over the internet.  Note that services may increase the time it takes to get your order shipped.   If you are meeting a deadline, you may wish to call us and ask how long it will take us to finish your order with the services added.  Usually the extra time is 2 to 3 days more than it would take without services added.   Note that cuts are only guaranteed to 1/8" plus or minus, so please take that into account when giving cutting instructions. Note:  We only do straight or rounded cuts,  other angled cuts or contours are not available. Returns:  Returns of pieces we cut at your request are not allowed unless they fall more than 1/8" +/- outside your specifications.  Rounded pieces are guaranteed to be sized to 3/8" under the listed size or larger, as this is a hand-done process.
Key to terms:
Crosscut:  Cutting across the smallest area of the piece.  In a 2" x 2" x 12", that would be a 2" long cut.
Rip:  Cutting down the longest part of the piece.  In a 2" x 2" x 12", that would be a 12" long cut.
Cut round:  For bowl blanks, this means rounding off the corners.  Note:  They will not be perfectly round.
Dowel: A turning square that has been turned round on the lathe.  Near perfect or perfectly round.  Rough Sanded.

Notes:  Be sure to identify in the shopping cart "Instructions" which pieces are being made into dowels if they aren't all being rounded.  Currently dowels over 18" long or 4" thick aren't offered.  The smallest dowel we can make is 7/8" thick .  7/8 dowels can't be over 12" long, and 1" dowels also cannot be over 12" long.   The following woods are not made into dowels: Burls, Spalted tamarind and snakewood.  The dowel must be made from a turning square, rather than a bowl blank, board  or other shape.  Quality will be very good.  Call us with special needs or if you have a larger volume order for doweling.  We do this by hand with a manual doweling attachment on a lathe.  These are not high speed production pieces, each is made with care. Pieces are lightly rough sanded, but not finish sanded. If you need finish sanding and/or finishing, you'll need to place your order by phone.
Service: Cut pieces at certain lengths:  Crosscutting (cutting across the grain)
