What does Kerf mean?
A Kerf is a notch created by a saw, the part of the wood that is turned into sawdust.
Do you have a price per linear foot?
Depending on the project the linear foot price can vary dramatically, but generally our prices fall between $500-$1000/linear foot. Because of this wide price range we find it is more effective to bid each project individually, so please feel free to ask us for an estimate.
OMG! What are these tenons?
We have designed specific joinery to assemble our cabinets and furniture that includes the use of through tenons. These tenons are often visible on the outside of finished faces of our work. It makes for extremely strong joints. We consider the detail to be quite beautiful, a visual demonstration of the craft that goes into our work. However, sometimes our clients require a tenon free surface. Please let us know if this is the case.
What hardware do you use?
Our drawers use Blum Tandem undermount slides, the industry standard for high quality soft close drawer slides. Our doors also use Blum soft closing european style hinges. Blum hardware carries a lifetime warranty.
What is your warranty?
Our cabinets carry a lifetime warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Issues rarely come up, but when they do we do our best to resolve them. Happy customers are our number one concern.
Do you make countertops?
We offer a 1″ plywood and laminate countertop for $32/sq.ft. uninstalled and for $39/sq.ft. installed (locally). However, many of our clients source their own countertops. Note: We cannot install undermount sinks in our plywood countertops!
Do you ship out of state?
Yes we do. We have built projects all over the country, from Alaska to California, New York to Dallas.
How do you ship? How much does it cost?
It depends. Most often cabinets are crated and shipped via ground freight. Sometimes we are able to pack a trailer and skip the crating process, cutting down on the cost of the move. Typical shipping costs for a kitchen range from $1000-$2500 within the continental US.
Do you install? How about out of state?
We can install locally, or the installation can be done by your contractor. Contractors are some of our biggest fans, and they love installing our cabinets. Out of state projects are almost always handled by a contractor or the homeowners.
Do we pay sales tax?
We charge sales tax to our customers in Washington State. Out of state customers are exempt.
Do you have a trade discount?
No, our pricing is the same for everyone.
What happened to the DIY cabinets?
After 3 years we finally decided that the DIY experiment should come to an end. The extra work involved in creating complete kits, clear instructions and support ultimately cancelled out any savings we were able to realize with the process in the shop.
Do you have any spare vanities/bookcases/cabinets hanging out at the shop?
Nobody’s perfect. Sometimes we make something the wrong size or discover a flaw in a finished piece before we send it out. Keep an eye on our facebook page for factory seconds.

Amazing cabinetry work. What kind of plywood do you use for your kitchen projects? Is this baltic birch with a paper or hardwood veneer?
It is all built with FSC certified Europly with a hardwood veneer (either maple or walnut).
