Commissions
Every piece leaving the studio is built to order. We work in four disciplines, often crossing between them on a single project: a painting scaled to a stair wall, a walnut table sized to a breakfast nook, casework fitted to the inch. Here is what we make and how a commission actually runs.
01
Original work in oil and acrylic, sized to your wall rather than a standard canvas. We start from your palette, your light, and the room the piece will live in. Most paintings run 30 by 40 inches up to full mural scale.
02
Freestanding and wall-mounted pieces in steel, bronze, and carved wood. We handle everything from tabletop objects to entry pieces that anchor a foyer, including mounting hardware and installation.
03
Dining tables, desks, and consoles in Texas pecan, walnut, and white oak, with steel or solid-wood bases. You choose the slab, the finish, and the exact dimensions. Built to be used daily and refinished once a generation.
04
Built-in shelving, media walls, credenzas, and library units, measured on site and fitted to the inch. Hardwood faces, dovetailed drawers, and hardware that closes the way it should.
Typically 6 to 14 weeks
Step 01
You tell us about the space and what you want it to hold. We talk at the studio, at your home, or by phone. No charge, no obligation.
Step 02
We send sketches, material samples, and a fixed price. You revise on paper until it is right. A 50 percent deposit reserves your slot on the bench.
Step 03
The piece takes shape in our Deep Ellum shop. You get photo updates at each stage, and you are welcome to visit while the work is underway.
Step 04
We deliver, install, and level everything ourselves within the Dallas area, and we crate for freight beyond it. Balance is due on delivery.
The studio
Blackland Studio is a working shop in Deep Ellum where the painting and the joinery happen under the same roof. That is deliberate. When the same eye designs the canvas and the credenza beneath it, the room holds together. We take on a limited number of commissions each season so nothing gets rushed.
