Frequently Asked Questions ?

What types of custom projects does Ballash Woodworks create?

Ballash Woodworks specializes in bespoke furniture and functional art, including dining tables, sculptural bases, seating, cabinetry, cutting boards, and architectural pieces. Each project is designed and built individually.

Are your pieces truly custom or made from standard templates?

Every piece is fully custom. While some designs may be inspired by previous work, dimensions, materials, joinery, and finishes are tailored specifically to each client and space.

How does the custom design process work?

Once an order is placed, a representative will contact you to discuss design goals, dimensions, wood selection, finishes, and use-case details. The process is collaborative and intentional from concept to completion. Submit our custom work form here.

Can I choose the wood species and finish?

Yes. Clients are guided through available wood species and finish options to ensure the final piece aligns with their aesthetic, environment, and long-term durability needs.

How long does a custom project take to complete?

Lead times vary depending on project complexity and current workshop workload. As a small, veteran-owned studio, timelines prioritize craftsmanship and precision over mass production.

Where are your pieces made?

All work is handcrafted in Fayetteville, North Carolina by Ballash Woodworks, a veteran-owned small business committed to quality, discipline, and long-term craftsmanship.

Will my piece look exactly like the one shown online?

Each piece is unique. Natural grain, color variation, and hand-worked details ensure no two projects are identical. Photos represent prior commissions and serve as inspiration, not replicas.

Do you work with interior designers or architects?

Yes. Ballash Woodworks regularly collaborates with designers, architects, and builders to create custom pieces that integrate seamlessly into curated spaces.

How are custom pieces priced?

Pricing reflects materials, dimensions, complexity, joinery methods, and finishing requirements. Each quote represents the time, skill, and attention invested in creating a one-of-a-kind piece.

Are your pieces built to last long-term?

Absolutely. Every project is designed as an heirloom—constructed using proven techniques, durable hardwoods, and thoughtful engineering meant to endure generations of use.
