Construction Projects

Our New Etsy Shop.

Due to large cutting board demand Studiobuild has a newly formed Etsy Shop.   Last week we finished up another batch of 30 cutting boards.   Demand is high so I imagine these will sell out in a hurry.   Most people requested larger cutting boards this time around so we had to bump the pricing up a bit to compensate.

L1020343resizedWe also had an intern for the week.   Logan hails from Florida and is interested in architecture, he visited all week with hopes of learning a thing or two about the profession.   A week later he learned that we aren’t really architects, we build more things than we draw, and that cutting boards require a lot more work than you would think.

Cutting Boards on the Kitchen

Studiobuild recently built a series of cutting boards for Mothers Day Gifts.   Our initial run was successful and we sold all 25  in a matter of hours to family and friends.    Today Apartment Therapy’s sister site The Kitchen picked up our work and the remaining boards are selling like crazy.   Our cutting boards are made from the scrap wood our furniture shop produces.  Species vary considerable and 90% of the wood is locally harvested hardwoods.  Some exotic woods make it into the pile and ultimately end up in a cutting board or two but its mostly as an accent.   Our cutting boards are individually unique since we make them using the scrap we have at the time.  Our cutting boards range in price from $20 – $50 ( and up for custom large boards ) plus shipping.   We do offer bulk discounts if you want to purchase them to give as gifts.

Here is a picture of the boards still available.L1020095L1020096

Scrap to Cash

DSCN5042

Help support the Studiobuild stimulus package by taking part in our Scrap to Cash program.   As we build our other furniture projects we end up with a ton of scrap wood in all kinds of species so rather than let that wood go to waste we try and come up with little projects to use it up.  If you have any ideas feel free to email us.

Studiobuild has put together several cutting boards this past week and we are offering them up for sale just in time for Mothers Day.  Several sizes are available ranging from little sets for cheeses to a few large enough to filet a side of beef. Prices vary depending on size   ranging from $20 – $50.   Email us at jerad.studiobld ( at ) gmail.com if your interested.

Finally made it by to take some pics of the re_lume chair at Urbana. Mind you these are not fancy studio pics and the chairs don’t even have all of the coats of finish on them. But this should give you and idea of the final form. As soon as I get a set of six done I’ll be getting some studio photos taken of them.
