Our story

Small studio. Solid wood. Your approval first.

Squid Handcraft is a small made-to-order wood studio. Every wall panel, table and console starts as a solid hardwood slab and is carved, sanded and oiled by hand - and you see photos of the raw carving before we apply a single coat of finish.

No warehouse, no mass production: just pieces built for one room at a time, crated and shipped free anywhere in the U.S.

Before any stain or oil goes on, we photograph the raw carving and send it to you by email or chat. Reply to approve, or ask for small adjustments. Finishing starts only after your OK - so what you see is what you get.
