The Commission Process
Free Consultation
We discuss your space, vision, preferred materials, budget, and timeline. You can visit the studio by appointment or connect by phone/video.
Concept & Design
Dustin develops sketches and, for larger projects, small-scale models. Material samples are presented. We refine until the concept resonates.
Quote & Deposit
A detailed quote covers materials, labor, delivery, and installation. A 50% design deposit secures your place in the production schedule.
Creation
Hands-on fabrication in the Hocking Hills studio. Progress photos shared throughout. Wood carving, molding, shaping, welding, the piece takes form.
Delivery & Installation
Professional delivery and placement. For larger works, on-site installation ensures the piece integrates with its environment exactly as designed.

Starting guides are Discovery $500+, Signature $2,500+, Statement $10,000+ and Monumental $35,000+. Materials, complexity, size and timing affect the final quote. These are starting prices, not fixed prices for every project.
