How We Make Our Furniture

A Handmade Solid Wood Furniture Process from Start to Finish

Our Crafting & Production Journey

At Tomruque, every piece of furniture begins with a commitment to quality and craftsmanship. We work with carefully selected solid wood and shape each product by hand, blending timeless design with skilled artistry. This page takes you behind the scenes of our production journey — from raw material to finished piece — so you can see how your furniture is made with care, precision, and passion.

How Do We Start?

📝 1. Design & Concept Development

📝 1. Design & Concept Development

Every piece begins with imagination — rooted in real homes, real needs, and a desire to create furniture people genuinely want to live with. We envision designs that feel timeless yet functional, blending modern aesthetics with everyday usability. From the very first sketch, we carefully consider the product’s style, ergonomics, and how it will interact with daily life.

Our design process involves multiple stages of hand-drawn sketches, technical drawings, and 3D modeling. Throughout this journey, we make deliberate decisions — comparing alternatives and refining forms — to arrive at a result that is both visually balanced and structurally sound. Every joint, angle, and proportion is assessed not just for beauty but also for strength and longevity.

We design with the end user in mind — their comfort, their movement, their space. Whether it’s the height of a shelf or the thickness of a leg joint, we account for all aspects of user experience. At Tomruque, designing furniture is never just about how it looks, but about how it feels, fits, and functions in a home.

At Tomruque, we believe that a well-designed piece is already half-built — that’s how essential this phase is to our process.

🌳 2. Material Selection

🌳 2. Material Selection

We select premium solid wood sourced from responsibly managed forests, ensuring every piece is as sustainable as it is beautiful. Each plank is handpicked for its natural grain, strength, and character — key elements that define the quality and longevity of our furniture.

At Tomruque, we primarily work with a curated selection of hardwoods:

  • Walnut, known for its rich brown hues and elegant grain patterns, adds a sense of warmth and depth to any space.
  • Oak is timeless and strong, prized for its durability and distinctive texture.
  • Beech offers a smooth surface and uniform appearance, ideal for minimal designs.
  • Pine brings lightness and softness, with a charming, rustic touch.
  • Chestnut, with its subtle grain and resilience, adds a quiet sophistication to select pieces.

Each type of wood is chosen not only for its aesthetic but also for how it serves the design's function and structure. We take into account factors such as density, flexibility, color tone, and the way the wood ages over time.

Our focus on solid wood means each product is built to last — no veneers, no shortcuts. Just real materials, responsibly sourced, crafted with care.

Once the solid wood is selected —either as part of our carefully crafted design process or after you place a custom order— it moves into the hands of our skilled artisans. Each piece is carefully cut, carved, and shaped according to precise design specifications. This stage requires not only technical accuracy but also a deep respect for the wood’s natural character—its grain, density, and subtle imperfections. Working with time-honored techniques, our craftsmen bring the design to life by shaping every component with intention and care, ensuring it fits seamlessly into the overall structure while honoring its organic beauty.

Once all components are ready, our skilled craftsmen begin the handcrafted joinery process. Each part is carefully assembled, with every joint, surface, and angle meticulously checked to ensure structural integrity and visual harmony. After assembly, the piece undergoes a thorough quality control process where even the finest details are reviewed against our high standards of craftsmanship and durability.

Whether it’s a signature design or a custom-made piece, we photograph the final product and share it with you for approval—ensuring full transparency, satisfaction, and a shared excitement before your furniture begins its journey home.

We sand each surface by hand to achieve a silky-smooth finish. Natural oils and waxes — free of harmful chemicals — are then applied to nourish and protect the wood. This step enhances the material’s texture and reveals its unique grain, giving each piece a warm, organic beauty.

Once your furniture is ready—whether it’s a signature design or a custom-made piece—it is carefully packed using eco-conscious materials such as honeycomb cardboard, bubble wrap, and custom-fit corner protectors. Our packaging is designed to maximize protection during transit while minimizing environmental impact. To make the unboxing and setup process smooth and enjoyable, we include clear, step-by-step assembly instructions with every order—so the care we put into crafting your furniture continues all the way to your home.
