The wood is hand milled flat and square with hand saws and planes. It is joined and crafted using traditional joinery methods and techniques. Fasteners are only used to secure hinges and 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 plane finish or a hand sanding before application of 4 to 5 coats of hand rubbed finish.
