Frequently Asked Ques.

Please reach us at bruce.ifitswood@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What types of wood do you work with?

We work with a variety of woods including but not limited to Oak, Hard Maple, Cherry, Walnut, Ambrosia Maple, Purple Heart, Sapele, Padauk to name a few.

What is your typical turn-around time?

Our turnaround time for custom pieces varies depending on material availability. This is based on the type of wood species requested. It typically takes 6-8 weeks from the time of order if we have to source from an out of state supplier. If we can source the lumber locally it usually takes 2-3 weeks. Once the materials are secured, we allow a minimum of 5-7 days for the wood to acclimate in our shop before we start. Ideally the range for kiln dried lumber should fall between 6% to 8%. This minimizes the potential of warping, twisting, cupping, etc. At the end of the day however, wood movement can be expected. It will react according to the conditions it is in. Proper storage during the acclimation/curing process is absolutely critical.

What sizes can you provide?

Our CNC has the capability of producing items up to 48"x 48". Please keep in mind that the smaller the project, the more detail it will have. Our experience is that the more you try and stretch it the less detail it will have.

NOTE: Not all files available online are created equal! If you are planning to have someone make a project for you, do not purchase a file directly from any vendor unless you plan to or have the ability and a CNC or laser yourself. In most cases they do not allow this, and you could be subject to legal action! Please read the entire description including the fine print!!!!! These designers work hard and need to be paid for using their designs. Let whomever is going to be doing the project for you to purchase the file (s) directly.

A word of caution: There are also a select few that will not allow you to sell physical products commercially on any of their designs. Again, please read the entire product description before you proceed.

There ARE not any prices noted on any of the products shown on this website?

if-its-wood is a custom oriented business that provides products that are made to order. Pricing cannot be provided until such time as an order is requested by the client. Pricing will be determined by several factors including but not limited to: Subject matter, wood species, size, etc. All projects will be billed to you individually via invoice by email.

NOTE: We do require a 50% deposit on all orders (non-refundable). Balance is due upon completion and prior to the product being shipped, delivered or picked up locally.

How long does it take to carve a project?

Carve times vary based on several factors:

1. Size of the project.

2. Complexity of the project.

3. Modeling Resolution.

4. Bit Selection (s).

5. Router/Spindle size.

Our software allows us to set the resolution specifically for each project. These range from 1) Standard, 2) High = 3x slower than standard 3) Very High = 7 times slower 4) Extremely High = 20 times slower 5) Maximum = 50 times slower.

These selections will determine the length of the carve time. We recently did the eagle portrait shown in the Client Request folder. This project was 24" wide x 18" high. We used an ultra-fine 3D detail bit at 0.015 Radius with a 10-degree tapered ball nose endmill. The settings were on Very High (#3). Including the roughing pass that took almost 2 hours by itself. The actual finish carving took 28 hours for a total of 30 hours. After the carving is completed, you still have many hours of detail sanding and finishing.

What do we need to do if we want if-its-wood to make our custom project?

1. Reach out to us via the email provided in the contact us page. Please include as much information as possible to include your telephone number as well. We check our email frequently.

2. Once the information is provided and we have discussed the project in detail, we will prepare a cost estimate based on the parameters you have provided.

3. When the estimate is completed (usually 1-3 days), we will forward it to you for your review. If accepted, we will discuss payment terms as it relates to both the deposit and final payment.

4. Once the deposit has been received, we will immediately begin with sourcing the materials and getting it delivered to our shop. You will be kept informed on the status of your project as details emerge. This will include verbal (when necessary), written and electronic photos of the project as we begin from start to finish. Please feel free to contact us at any time before during and after the project is completed. We want the experience to be as seamless as possible, and we value your input.

5. Your project can also have an inscription engraved on the back of it should you so choose. You would need to provide that information to us ahead of time. We would then send you a template of the inscription for review and approval before proceeding.

6. Once completed we will provide you with photos of the project. Upon receipt of final payment, the project will be carefully packaged and mailed. A tracking number will be provided to you once it has been shipped.

What types of woodworking services do you offer?

We specialize in 2.5D or 3D relief carving CNC wall art and crafts as well as laser engraving and laser wall art utilizing our CO2 laser. The laser has the capability to engrave a large number of materials including but not limited to a) Wood, b) Leather, c) Acrylic, d) Plastics, e) Metal f) Glass, g) Aluminum, h) Brass, i) Ceramics, j) Slate, etc.

We produce both wood and laser engraved products based on specific file types. The files are designed by others. We do not provide design services at this time.

What types of finishes are available?

We do not typically stain or paint any of our pieces. What you see is wood in it's natural state. We do apply several coats of polyurethane after all of the sanding and detail work is complete to provide UV protection. If a customer wishes to purchase a piece that they would like to paint, we will apply a coat of shellac or lacquer in lieu of polyurethane. This can be lightly sanded, and paint can be applied directly over it.

What Are the Most POpular Sizes?

The most popular sizes include picture styles (framed and frameless) include 8"x10", 8.5"x11", 10"x12", 12"x12", 11"x17" & 18"x24". We have the capability of doing wood pieces up to 48" x 48".

Are THE PRODUCTS CURRENTLY SHOWN ON YOUR WEBSITE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE?

Yes, the projects you see on this website are one-off prototypes made in house for display purposes to give you an idea of what it is that we do. Most of these items shown are nautical themed with exception of the flags as these are very popular in our area due to our location. If you see something that you like and would like to purchase it or want it in a different size and /or wood species, please reach out to us for pricing. Once the items shown have sold, we will not be replacing them on the website for purchase. They can however be ordered separately. Should you decide to purchase an item we can custom engrave it to your specifications. We would send you a template of the engraving for your review and approval before proceeding.

NOTE: Once a project has been completed, we reserve the right to add it (anonymously) to our client requested items.
