Our Process
We’re glad you’re here.
Artesia Woodworks, based in the desert landscapes of the Mesilla Valley, crafts custom cabinetry, millwork, and furniture that bring wood to life in your home.
How We Work
01 / Dialogue
With Artesia, every job always begins with a conversation. You bring us your inspiration, your blueprints, and a sense of how you intend to live in your space. We listen carefully to ensure that our work aligns seamlessly with your goals.
02 / Develop
Next, we take your ideas and begin to transform them into reality. We collaborate with you to develop precise drawings of the concept, establishing a clear narrative while providing transparent outlines for the project’s investment and timeline.
03 / Distill
With the design finalized and your deposit secured, the concept transitions from paper to the workshop. Your project is officially placed on our production schedule, and the craftsmanship begins.
04 / Deploy
In our shop, with unwavering attention to detail, we convert materials from their raw state into your cabinets. Once they are complete, we install them in your home, producing a space that not only meets your exacting specifications but also fundamentally enhances your experience.
Our Story
Artesia’s foundation springs from a dialogue between three distinct American landscapes. Our story begins in the Midwest, a region synonymous with quarter-sawn oak and other sturdy hardwoods, and a design sensibility rooted in utility and heritage. Raised in this environment, our founder, Andrew, also honed an appreciation for traditional craftsmanship and a strong respect for materials at Peters Cabinetry, a workshop run by his father.
Our aesthetic was further expanded by a strong connection to the Pacific Northwest, an environment where towering firs, pines, and spruces stretch skyward, and a reverence for the warmth of softwoods developed.
Today, this marriage of influences finds its expression in the sun-drenched environments of Las Cruces and El Paso. In the heart of the Southwest, we translate the enduring durability of Midwestern hardwoods and the scale of Northwest softwoods into custom cabinetry, millwork, and furniture designed for the unique demands of desert living. Against a backdrop of stark, sweeping landforms and expansive skies, our woodwork introduces a rich, tactile warmth to the rugged beauty of the Mesilla Valley.
