Austin, TX · Made by Hand

Pieces made to be
kept, not replaced.

Cedar & Tallow is a small Austin workshop building heirloom-grade woodwork — from candle holders and wall pieces to dining tables, pergolas, and full architectural built-ins. Made by hand, finished by hand, made to last.

What We Build

Four collections.
One workshop, one set of hands.

From a $95 candle holder to a 14-foot pergola, every piece comes out of the same shop, made by the same hands, with the same standard of finish.

Kitchen banquette concept
Featured Concept The Banquette

A kitchen built around where people actually gather.

A bay-window banquette in solid white oak with a hand-stitched cushion, integrated under-seat storage, and a custom round table that pivots out to seat six. A build like this typically runs about twelve weeks from concept to install.

How a Piece Gets Made

Four stages. No shortcuts.

i.

Conversation

Tell us what you're picturing. We ask about how the piece will be used, the room it lives in, who's going to sit on it.

ii.

Design

Sketches, dimensions, material samples. You see the piece before we cut a single board.

iii.

Build

The actual making. Joinery, sanding, finishing — all done in our East Austin shop, by us.

iv.

Delivery

Hand-delivered locally, white-glove installed for built-ins, shipped carefully for small goods.

Ready to Begin

Your piece, made slowly.

Small commissions start with an email. Larger builds start with an in-person conversation. Either way, the first step is free — and it doesn't commit you to anything.
