A focused list of carpentry services — every one drawn, joined, sanded, and finished in our Hudson Valley shop.
White oak · Walnut · Reclaimed
From a single floating mantel to a full library wall, every piece is drawn, milled, and finished in our shop. We work in white oak, walnut, cherry, ash, and reclaimed timber — joined with hand-cut dovetails, mortise & tenon, and dowel joinery that will outlast trends.
Library walls · Banquettes · Bookcases
Built-ins should feel original to the house. We design around your sight lines, baseboards, and crown — scribing every panel by hand so seams disappear into the wall. Every drawer runs on Blum soft-close hardware; every back panel is finished oak, not pegboard.
Crown · Wainscot · Casing
Finish work is the difference between a builder house and a forever home. We hand-cope every inside corner, return every moulding, and sand to 220 before the first coat goes on. No caulk hiding crooked cuts.
Inset · Beaded · Slab
We build cabinetry the way it was built in 1910 — full plywood backs, dadoed shelves, inset doors with brass butt hinges and 1/16″ reveals. Kitchen, mudroom, bath, pantry. No flat-pack, no Euro 32mm boxes.
Stile & rail · Period profiles
We hang true 1¾″ stile-and-rail doors on solid brass hinges and mill matching casing in-house. If you’re restoring a 1890s Queen Anne or commissioning new Shaker work — the profiles will be right.
Stairs · Beams · Antiques
We repair newel posts, replace damaged stair treads, splice in matching grain on antique tables, and re-finish hand-rails. Where original wood can be saved, we save it.
Whether the commission is a single floating shelf or a 22-foot library wall, every Iron & Oak project includes the same craftsmanship baseline.
A walk-through of the room, a coffee, a notebook. We listen for how you actually live before we draw a line.
Hand-sketched elevations, then scaled CAD with every reveal called out. You approve before lumber is ordered.
Cut, joined, sanded, and dry-fit in our shop. We finish 80% of the work where the dust belongs.
On-site in clean canvas drop cloths. Scribed to your walls, set with hand-driven brads, no nail holes.
We walk every reveal, every drawer pull, every finish edge with you. If it isn’t right, it doesn’t leave.
We book one major commission a quarter. If your project is calling for real craftsmanship, let’s talk.
