Inside the build: from cut file to finished wallet

Here's what happens after an order comes in.

Cut files

Your design becomes a set of vector shapes — one per piece of wood. Each shape is nested onto the right species so we waste as little stock as possible.

Cutting

Pieces are cut from solid hardwood stock, not veneer sheets stacked to look thick. Small pieces get cut oversize on purpose so there's material to fit by hand.

Fitting

This is the slow part. Each piece is set into the recess, checked for gaps, shaved, and checked again. A design with twelve pieces can take as long as the rest of the build combined.

Glue-up and press

Everything goes in at once under even pressure so no piece sits proud of its neighbor. Then it cures overnight.

Sanding

Progressive grits until the face is dead flat and the seams disappear under your thumb. Done properly, you cannot feel where one wood ends and the next begins.

Assembly and finish

The RFID layer and card pockets go in, edges get eased, and the whole wallet gets its hand-applied finish. It rests, gets inspected, and ships.
