Custom woodworking in the DMV

Our family doesn’t have the traditional story of long held artisan secrets passed down among the generations. We developed a shared passion for wood working randomly, semi-simultaneously, and late enough in life that it became a source of reconnection. The process began in Great Falls National Park in Southern Maryland. One of our brothers camped with hobbiests who showed him woodworking. As the hobby traded hands among family members and eventually grew to almost an addiction, projects evolved into more intricate forms of the art. Now from our studio in Fairfax (a few minutes away from Tyson’s Corner) we have turned our family connection into a way to preserve yours. At Fleurstone, we help families in Washington D.C. keep moments alive. With care, artistry, and a little science, we turn your memories into keepsakes that feel as special years from now as they did the day you made them.

Our woodworking methods

In our family studio, we have learned to combine artistry and science. We use new programs that render photos as vector images to translate a memory into an artistic concept that we can then use to design a memorial. The design is then carefully hand carved from wood, first on a lathe or by assembling a box urn, and then meticulously sculpted line by line with the help of technological guides based on that vector image. Our process ensures that each urn is carefully handled to maintain its natural beauty, color, and shape, without exposing the wood keepsake to harsh chemicals or lifeless machine processes. From simple carvings to memorial tributes, our preservation process honors the emotional meaning behind each piece while giving it a new life as timeless décor.

Wood selection

Every pet urn begins with carefully selected hardwood. We personally inspect each board for: beautiful, consistent grain patterns; rich natural coloring; structural integrity (no knots or defects); proper moisture content for stability; sustainable sourcing certification.

Wood Turning

For our traditional urns, we use time-honored lathe techniques passed down through generations of woodworkers. Cedar box urns are constructed with precision joinery. Every piece is shaped, sanded, and finished by hand.

Portrait Carving

Using your photographs, we create detailed relief carvings and hand-finish for organic detail. The result captures your pet's unique features such as the curve of their ears, the expression in their eyes, the personality that made them irreplaceable.

Hand-Applied Finishes

We finish every urn with multiple coats of natural oil, hand-rubbed to bring out the wood's character. This creates a durable, touchable surface with a warm, natural sheen that deepens beautifully over time.

We had our dog Charlie for 16 years before he passed on. He was such a big part of our family we felt that we needed to do something special for him. The boys did a great job making a beautiful urn. The craftmanship was exceptional. The team was great to work with, they showed us what was possible and sent pictures along the way so we could make changes. Big thank you to Nathan and Eric! Good to work with a family business!
