The best furniture in the foothills is sitting in workshops nobody finds. We're the room where it's found.
We don't buy your pieces outright. We consign them: 15% of the gross sale to us, 85% to you, while we handle display, customer relations, and delivery. It's a partnership built on respect for your craft.
How consignment works.
01
Tell us about your work
A short conversation: what you make, your timber sources, and the pieces you're proud of. Photos are enough to start.
02
We photograph and list your pieces
Your furniture comes to our Grass Valley showroom for a full studio shoot, provenance write-up, and listing across the shop. Your name stays on everything.
03
We sell, deliver, and support
We handle display, customer questions, payment, white-glove delivery, and after-sale care. You get monthly statements and a fair consignment split.
Why join now
Founding woodsmiths get
the early seats.
We're a startup, and we're not pretending otherwise. Today it's one founder and a plan to build the rolodex this region deserves. The first woodsmiths through the door get the benefits of being early, permanently.
- First listings: As the rolodex opens, the first woodsmiths in get the first spots on the site, in the showroom, and in front of customers already asking for makers.
- First photography: Founding members get the full studio shoot for free: hero images, macro details, and provenance write-ups you'd normally pay a studio for.
- A say in how this works: The consignment terms are set, but everything else is being built now. Founding woodsmiths shape the platform they sell through.
What's yours stays yours.
- Our commission is 15% of the gross sale of the piece, agreed in writing up front
- 85% of every gross sale is yours, paid monthly with a full statement
- Consignment, not buyout: you keep ownership until the piece sells
- Your name, your workshop, and your tree on every listing
- No exclusivity: sell through your own channels alongside ours
- Timber traceability support if you want it: we help document sources

“The rolodex starts with a few good benches and grows into something the whole region sells through.”
Vior Woodworks · Grass Valley
Fair questions.
Simple: our commission is 15% of the gross sale of the piece. You keep 85%, agreed in writing before we list anything. We can walk through real numbers on the first call.
We do. Studio photography, listing copy, showroom space, and local delivery are on us. That's what the commission pays for.
No. We do ask that your timber is downed, reclaimed, or from a sawmill with responsible practices, and we'll help you document it. That's the only hard rule: it has to be honest wood.
Tables, seating, storage, and kitchen work, in solid wood. One-offs and small runs are welcome. If it belongs in a home and you can stand behind it for decades, we want to see it.
It comes back to you in the condition it arrived, or we keep it listed with your agreement. Nothing is ever discounted without asking you first.
Show us your bench.
We're opening the rolodex to independent woodsmiths in the Sierra Nevada foothills, Northern California, and Oregon. Tell us where to reach you and we'll set up a first conversation within a week.
