Stairs
A stair built as architecture rather than circulation — thick hardwood treads, no risers, and a guard designed to the code limits that open risers trigger.
Capability, not a case study. This is work the shop is equipped and specified for. There is no photographed job of this exact type published yet — when there is, it appears here.
A renovation or new build where the stair is a designed object in a sightline. The aesthetic is simple; the code constraints are not, and they decide what is buildable before any drawing is worth having.

The part of a hardwood job that costs money is rarely the part in the quote. These are the failures that produce a second invoice.
A drawing everyone has approved and nobody can build. The redesign lands after the client is emotionally committed to it.
Avoided by: Establishing the code envelope before the first sketch is shown.
Perceptible deflection underfoot on a stair sold as a feature. Irreparable without rebuilding.
Avoided by: Sizing the tread for the span, then adjusting the aesthetic within that.
Visible supports added late, which is precisely the look an open stair was bought to avoid.
Avoided by: Designing stair and structure together from the start.
