Frequently Asked Questions

Our bespoke process is a collaborative journey. It begins with a detailed consultation to gather your vision and requirements. Following this, we create intricate design mockups and 3D renderings for your approval, moving to material selection from our curated collection of premium woods. Once finalized, our artisans meticulously craft your piece in our Winnipeg shop, culminating in a white-glove delivery and installation. We ensure clear communication every step of the way.
Absolutely! We thrive on collaboration with design professionals. Gilded Timber is adept at meticulously translating architectural drawings and sophisticated interior design concepts into exquisitely crafted, functional woodworking elements. Our team is accustomed to working within project specifications and timelines. Please contact us directly to discuss your specific project needs and how we can best integrate with your team.
We work exclusively with high-quality, sustainably sourced timbers. Our selection primarily features premium North American hardwoods such as rich Walnut, bright Maple, enduring Oak (red and white), and elegant Cherry, chosen for their beauty and durability. A core part of our philosophy is the use of FSC-certified lumber and, whenever possible, reclaimed wood from Manitoba's historic buildings, imbuing each piece with unique character and history.
Project timelines are highly variable, depending on the complexity, scale, and specific requirements of your custom woodworking. A smaller, single furniture piece might take 4-8 weeks from design approval to delivery, while extensive architectural millwork or a multi-room cabinetry installation could span several months. During our initial consultation, after understanding your project scope, we will provide a detailed and realistic schedule.
