Custom work
Made for your space
Most furniture is built for no one in particular. A commission starts with how you'll use the piece and the room it lives in — then we build it to those dimensions, in that wood, with that finish.

- Live-edge slabs — any species, any finish

The makers
Made in Chapel Hill
Grain & Grit Goods is two woodworkers and one shop. Every piece starts as rough North Carolina hardwood — white oak, black walnut, ash, maple — that we select, mill and shape ourselves.
We build by hand and finish with penetrating oils like Rubio Monocoat and Odie's Oil, so the wood still feels like wood. If something we make ever needs attention, get in touch.
