Execute precise joinery, shaping, sanding, and finishing to meet design and quality standards

Work with solid wood, veneers, and specialty substrates
-
Utilize modern tools and technology (CNC, routers, saws, sanders, jigs, fixtures) to support efficiency and consistency
-
Interpret drawings, dimensions, and design intent to produce accurate, high-quality frames
-
Collaborate with design and production teams to refine construction methods and improve repeatability
-
Maintain a clean, organized workspace that supports craftsmanship and quality
-
Inspect finished pieces to ensure structural integrity, visual consistency, and premium finish quality

Proven experience as a woodworker, frame maker, cabinetmaker, or furniture maker
-
Strong understanding of traditional woodworking techniques and materials
-
Comfort working with both hand tools and modern shop equipment
-
High attention to detail and pride in finished work
-
Ability to work independently while meeting production timelines
-
Appreciation for design-driven, artisanal products
Bonus Skills (Not Required):
-
Experience with CNC-assisted woodworking
-
Background in furniture, framing, or architectural millwork
-
Finishing experience (stains, paints, sealers, distressing techniques)
Why This Role Is Different
-
Focus on craft and quality, not mass production
-
Work on design-forward, premium mirrors with visible results
-
Blend heritage techniques with modern technology
-
Be part of a team that values skill, precision, and pride of work
