Sound familiar?

The hardest part of a custom order is figuring out what the customer wants.

“Make it a little bigger.” “Can the name go on top?” “I thought it was darker.” Every one of those is another email, another proof and another day the job sits on the bench.

The old way

✕Emails back and forth to pin down the size, the words and the wood

✕You draw a proof, they change it, you draw it again

✕You redraw it in LightBurn or your CAM software to cut it

✕A guessed ship date, and rush jobs you never charged for

With the studio

✓The customer sets the size, words, art and wood themselves

✓They see it to scale and approve it before they pay

✓The order comes with cut files that match the proof

✓The ship date follows your real queue; rush is paid at checkout

Freedom to design

One product page. Every piece one of a kind.

Your customers aren’t stuck picking from a dropdown. They type their own words, pick fonts, add art from your library or upload their own logo, move things where they want them, and change the size, shape and wood. You decide what’s open to change on each product, and set the price for every choice.

Maple sign with a pine tree, The Harpers, Est. 2019 — **Maple, 12″ × 6″.** Pine tree from your art library, family name, year.

Walnut sign reading Lake House, The Coopers — **Walnut, same product.** New words, darker wood, and the engraving shows the way it really burns on walnut.

Hexagon maple sign with mountains, Camp Wild, Elev. 7,200 ft — **A hexagon, 12″ × 10.4″.** Shapes you offer are cut to the outline the customer sees.

Their words, your fontsUpload the fonts you cut well. Customers can’t pick one you don’t carry.

Their logo or photoTurn uploads on or off per product. Photos are traced for engraving.

Real sizes, marked in inchesWidth and length are drawn on the piece, so “bigger” means a number.

The wood they’ll getEach wood shows its color range, light to dark, so nobody is surprised.

What they approve is what you cut

The cut files come with the order.

No redrawing. Each order lands in Orders & files with the customer’s proof and the files made from that exact design:

LightBurn file with layers for engrave, score and cut
SVG for any laser, DXF for the CNC
Job sheet with the size, wood, edge, holes and ship date
Beds: lay several orders out on one sheet before you cut

Honest ship dates

Lead times that follow your real queue. Rush that pays for itself.

You set your lead times for slow, normal and busy weeks. The studio shows the one that matches the orders you already have, so customers see a date you can keep.

Need it sooner? The customer picks rush, sees the new ship date and the rush fee, and pays it at checkout. You set the fee. No more doing rush jobs for free.

Checkout bar without rush: $38.50 plus engraving $1.23 equals $39.73 — **Standard:** ships in 1–2 weeks. $39.73.

Checkout bar with rush: $38.50 plus rush $19.25 plus engraving $1.23 equals $58.98 — **Rush picked:** the $19.25 fee is added to the total.

Lead time line: 1 to 2 weeks crossed out, 3 to 5 business days — And the ship time updates right on the design: ~~1–2 weeks~~ 3–5 business days.

Furniture and multi-part pieces

Tables, shelves and boxes, sized by the customer, built the way you build them.

Design the piece once in the block builder with your real joinery. Your customer sets the length, width and height inside the limits you allow, picks the wood and turns it around in 3D. The price comes from your own price for every size, and you get each part’s cut files and a cut list.

Coffee table in cherry, 60 by 22 by 18 inches, $293.64, with sliders for length, width and height — What the customer sees: a cherry coffee table at 60″ × 22″ × 18″. Every size they pick has your price.

They can see how it’s made

One tap shows the joints you put in it, explained in plain words. Customers understand what they’re paying for, and you spend less time explaining it.

Through tenons: legs run up through the top — **Through tenons.** The legs run up through the top.

Mortise and tenon: aprons and rails tenoned into the legs — **Mortise and tenon.** Aprons and rails glued into the legs.

Room to move: the top is held with tabletop fasteners — **Room to move.** Tabletop fasteners, so the top stays flat.

Laser engraved name on the underside — **Laser engraved.** Your mark, burned in.

Time and money

Less time at the desk. More time at the bench.

No proof emails

The customer makes the proof and approves it themselves.

No redrawing

Open the file, check it, cut it.

No quoting by hand

Your rates for wood, size, engraving and add-ons build the total.

Fewer remakes

The size, spelling and wood were set by the customer, in writing.
