Order Information
Can I buy what's shown on the
website?
Items on the In Stock page are available.
Other images are of pieces already sold. We can build something
similar, though. Keep in mind that mesquite is a natural wood subject
to droughts, floods, and scars, so it is impossible to duplicate any piece
exactly.
How long does it take?
That depends. Lead time is about 90 to 120 days if we have the wood
in stock.
If you really like ingrown bark or
other feature, it will take longer as we may have to locate just the right
tree and then have the lumber kiln dried before we can begin work (see
below).
Why does it cost so much?
Good question. Mesquite is an expensive wood. In the wild,
mesquite only grows about half an inch/year when it isn't crowded and
there is plenty of rain. If a customer desires a particular feature,
it may take months to locate just the right tree or lumber to provide
that.
When we do find a good tree, we cut
it into planks which are kiln dried, a 30 to 60 day process. Once
the wood is dry, our work really begins. Besides simply constructing
the furniture, we may have to spend days filling worm holes, charring
edges, or smoothing branch splits, etc. But the finished product
is so beautiful, you'll agree with us that the end result is worth the
effort.
How much is shipping?
Shipping cost will depend on the particular piece, whether it can be broken
down for shipping, and where you live. All furniture is shipped
insured and freight collect. We can estimate shipping costs once
you have placed your order, but until a piece is complete, we don't know
the exact weight, so any estimate is just an estimate.
Terms: 50% down
and the balance at completion.
