Custom Designs

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

We are always willing to do a custom new design. Custom designs, custom options & details and custom sizing are the secrets to our ever-expanding product selection. We don’t run a factory. We operate an old-fashioned wood working shop. Everything is made by hand and will always be done this way. This gives us the flexibility to say yes as often as possible. Sometimes we can’t get it done, but usually it leads to interesting new items we wind up adding to our website’s offerings.

If you have a design you’d like made, send it over. It will take a bit of time, but odds are we’ll come up with a beauty.

In this photo, our in-house master carpenter, Tony Toledo and I are working out ways of strengthening and refining the basic skeleton of an arched hammock stand design (the basic skeleton is next to us on the table).

This is the finished product, which weve named the Noaks Ark Hammock.
