Studio Notes

From Sketch to Finished Piece

A look at how a commission takes shape.

Oakvello Studio

Every commission starts with a conversation and ends with a piece in someone’s home. Here is what happens in between.

Sketches and drawings

Early sketches explore proportion. Once a direction is agreed, we prepare measured drawings and material options for review.

In the workshop

Timber is selected and acclimatised before cutting. Joints are fitted by hand, surfaces prepared, and finishes applied in several thin coats.

Delivery

We plan delivery or installation in advance and check that every detail feels right once the piece is in place.
