The wood is hand milled and made flat and square with hand saws and planes. It is then joined and crafted using traditional joinery. Fasteners are only used to hold hinges and to fasten the back of the piece. The entire piece is held together with wood joinery and glue. Hardware is typically solid brass. Final finish is either a smoothing plane finish or a hand sanding before application of 4 to 5 coats of hand rubbed finish.
