Questions
Yes. Most of what Paul makes starts as a conversation rather than a catalog item. If you can describe the piece, who it is for and roughly what you are imagining, Paul will tell you what is realistic and suggest materials that suit it.
Pricing depends on the materials, the hardware and the amount of work a piece needs. Paul reviews your request and gives you a price before anything is made. There is no obligation at that point.
Use the Design Your Piece form to describe what you have in mind, or email or call Paul directly. He replies to discuss the details, confirm the design and provide pricing.
Once the details are agreed, Paul sends a PayPal invoice. Payment is handled through PayPal's secure checkout — Paul never handles your card details.
Start a conversation
You do not need to know every material or technical detail. Tell Paul who the piece is for and what you are imagining, and he will help you explore the possibilities.
