Gerstner^{^{^®}} Custom Wood Products *Enhancing the Image of Your Product* Whether your custom needs are for one piece, one hundred pieces, or one thousand pieces, H. Gerstner & Sons can help engineer, design and build a top quality wood product for you or your company. More photos of custom projects shown below!
We are pleased to do custom work under the following circumstances: Contact us by phone (937) 228-1662 to briefly describe the project you have in mind. Provide us with information as to the quantity of items you are seeking, and the expected cost, or cost range you have allotted so that we may design a chest or case within your budget. If possible, fax a rough sketch to us at (937) 228-8557 which shows over-all size and spells out what features you are looking for such as: locking or non-locking, hinged top, glass vs. plastic panels, species of wood, interior dimensions (if critical), type of finish, etc. Based upon the level of design work to be done, the cost for us to prepare or finalize a design and provide estimated cost information usually runs between $100.00 and $250.00. This amount is due before any design work by Gerstner is submitted.
Upon your approval of the design (unless the order calls for only one piece to be made), we will suggest that two production samples be built – one for your examination and approval, and one for us to keep as a production master. While we can provide an estimated sample cost, The actual cost of these samples is based on time and materials. Our sample labor rate is $60.00 per hour. Once you review the production sample, we will go over any final changes (or approval as is) before beginning an actual production run. While this entire process is somewhat involved, by following these standard procedures, H. Gerstner & Sons will provide you with a top quality product.

Here is some interesting facts regarding the woods we primarily use.

Bubinga	1980
Moradillo	1780
Maple	1450
White Oak	1360
Walnut	1010
