FAQ
Custom Furniture
What is custom furniture?
Custom furniture is built specifically for your home, style, and needs rather than being mass-produced. Every piece from Troon Woodshop is handcrafted, allowing you to choose the size, wood species, design details, and finish that best fit your space.
Why choose custom furniture instead of store-bought furniture?
Custom furniture offers advantages that factory-made pieces simply can’t match.
- Built to fit your space perfectly
- Crafted from premium hardwoods
- One-of-a-kind designs
- Superior craftsmanship
- Long-lasting durability
- Made to become a family heirloom
Every piece is designed with both beauty and function in mind.
Can I customize the size of a piece?
Absolutely. Nearly every design can be customized to fit your room. Whether you need a compact side table or a large dining table, dimensions can be tailored to your space.
Wood Selection
What types of wood do you use?
Troon Woodshop works with a variety of premium hardwoods, including Black Walnut, Spalted Maple, White Oak, Cherry, Ash, Hickory, and other carefully selected species.
Each wood has its own unique grain, color, and character.
What is live edge wood?
Live edge furniture preserves the natural edge of the tree rather than cutting it into a straight line. This highlights the organic beauty of the wood and ensures every piece is truly one of a kind.
Is every live edge table unique?
Yes. No two trees grow exactly alike, which means every live edge piece has its own grain pattern, shape, knots, and natural character.
Can I choose the wood for my project?
Yes. If multiple wood species are available, you’ll be able to discuss the options and choose the one that best suits your style and budget.
Craftsmanship
Are your pieces handmade?
Yes. Every project is handcrafted in the workshop using traditional woodworking techniques combined with modern tools to achieve precise, durable results.
Do you use reclaimed wood?
Many projects incorporate reclaimed or sustainably sourced hardwoods whenever appropriate, giving beautiful materials a second life while reducing waste.
What finish do you use?
Each project is finished with products selected for durability, protection, and the desired appearance. The best finish depends on how the piece will be used.
How long does a custom project take?
Build times vary depending on the project’s size, complexity, and current workload. Estimated timelines are discussed during the design process.
Furniture Care
How do I care for solid wood furniture?
Solid wood furniture is easy to maintain.
- Dust regularly with a soft cloth.
- Clean spills promptly.
- Avoid prolonged direct sunlight.
- Use coasters and placemats.
- Maintain consistent indoor humidity.
With proper care, solid wood furniture can last for generations.
Will my table change over time?
Yes—and that’s part of the beauty of real wood. Seasonal humidity changes may cause minor movement, which is completely normal for solid hardwood furniture.
Design Questions
Can you match existing furniture?
Often, yes. While every handmade piece is unique, designs, colors, and finishes can frequently be coordinated with existing furniture.
Do you build from customer sketches or photos?
Absolutely. Inspiration photos, sketches, and ideas are excellent starting points for creating a custom design.

Where is Troon Woodshop located?
Troon Woodshop is based in Ohio and proudly serves clients throughout Northeast Ohio and surrounding areas.
