Wood Furniture Fabrication for Greenville Homes
What is a Furniture Fabricator?
A furniture fabricator is a professional who builds custom furniture to exact specifications. Unlike mass-produced furniture, fabricators work from detailed plans to create one-of-a-kind pieces using construction-grade joinery and premium materials.
At Nautilus Woodcraft, we fabricate custom furniture in our Seneca, SC workshop, serving Greenville and Upstate South Carolina. We work with homeowners to create furniture that fits specific spaces, styles, and functional requirements.
Fabrication involves consultation, clear planning and material specifications, construction using proper joinery techniques, finishing, and professional installation. Every piece is built to last generations, not just look good. Contact us to discuss your project or view examples of our work.
Built to Spec
Every piece we fabricate follows a rigorous process from design confirmation through installation. These proof points demonstrate the tangible value we bring to furniture fabrication.
Design & Approval Process
Every project begins with clear dimensions, joinery details, material specifications, and finish requirements. These details are confirmed with you before fabrication begins, ensuring the final piece matches your design intent and eliminating costly surprises during production.
Material Selection & Sourcing
We source premium hardwoods including walnut, oak, maple, ash, and exotic species like becote. Materials are selected for durability, appropriate use, and aesthetic requirements. We can match existing finishes or source specific materials to meet your design specifications.
Construction-Grade Joinery
We use mortise-and-tenon joints, dovetails, and other construction-grade joinery techniques that create furniture built to last generations. Proper wood movement accommodation is planned into every piece, ensuring stability and longevity regardless of humidity changes.
Finish System & Protection
Finishes are selected based on use requirements and design intent. We use hard wax oil with ceramic coating for durable, low-sheen protection that enhances grain without looking plastic. Paint finishes are applied with proper surface preparation and multiple coats for durability.
Tolerances & Wood Movement Planning
Every piece is built with appropriate tolerances for wood movement. We account for seasonal humidity changes, ensuring drawers operate smoothly year-round and tabletops remain stable. This planning prevents warping, cracking, and joint failure over time.
Installation Coordination
We coordinate delivery and installation timing with your schedule. Site visits are conducted when needed to measure for scribe-to-fit adjustments. Installation includes site protection protocols, professional placement, and detailed punch-list closure.
Quality Control & Punch-List Closure
Every piece undergoes quality control checks before delivery. During installation, we make scribe-to-fit adjustments for uneven walls or floors, ensure proper operation of drawers and doors, and complete a detailed punch-list to ensure everything meets specifications.
