ABOUT ME
My Name is Derik VanVleet.
All project journeys start and end with one thing. Wood. I hand select each piece, from the rough, in order to get the best color and grain matching possible. I sketch out where each piece of the project will come from, and mill the lumber myself so I can see what each piece reveals under the rough exterior and begin to see how each of the parts will come together to form a singular finished product.
Building the piece is just the first step; each piece must be finished. I use finishes that are proven to bring out the natural beauty of the wood, not a multi step manufactured process like in the big box stores. The carefully selected wood deserves a finish that allows it to show its true nature. I focus on using natural oils and clear finishes, not stains and gels that cover the wood's natural character.
My Promise.
I’ll only work with the best materials available and provide a lifetime guarantee on all pieces. I never compromise quality for time and give my clients realistic schedules that accommodate their lives. I strive for honest customer service, so contracts are only paid in full when the finished work is to your complete satisfaction.
