One forge, two motions

FIRE AND EDGE

The fire adds material, layer by layer. The edge takes it away, pass by pass. Both leave here checked by the same pair of eyes.

01

The Fire

3D printing

Bring your or and the fire builds it: engineering polymers on hand-tuned lines and high-detail resin. We do not model, design, draw, or reverse-engineer. You bring the geometry; we make it real.

02

The Edge

CNC woodworking

Hardwood carved on a 4 by 4 foot bed: end-grain cutting boards in maple, cherry, white oak, and hickory, with walnut ordered fresh per board and carved or true contrasting-wood inlays. Design yours in the 3D builder and we cut exactly what you see.

How the fire works

You bring the file; the forge does the rest. Your exact price is calculated from your model the moment you upload, no account walls, no waiting on a quote, no surprises at checkout.

How the edge works

Build a board, glue-up to doorstep.

No stock photos and no guessing: the 3D builder is the actual glue-up plan. Every strip you see is a strip we rip, flip, and glue, and the price moves line by line as you design.

01

Design it in 3D

Pick size, thickness, and pattern. Five woods on the rack today, walnut ordered fresh for your board after purchase.

02

Make it yours

Drag your name across the face and size the letters, or set a licensed art inlay in contrasting wood. Brass, stainless, or copper feet.

03

Watch the price move

Every choice shows its own line: woods, pattern labor, lettering, feet. When it looks right, check out at the number on screen.

04

Approve the carve proof

After you buy, we turn your design into the exact cut sheet and send it back for your sign-off. Nothing touches wood until you approve it.

05

A 3 to 4 week build

Two full glue-up cures, flattening, the carve, and a deep oil soak. Ships heavy, oiled, with a care card.
