Depending on the size and intricacy of the item purchased, processing time will vary prior to shipping. We are a small, family operated company with limited hands on stock due to our process of ethically sourcing our materials. Once a board of lumber is cut, we carefully dry it before it can be used for furniture. This process may take 5-7 weeks. Our craftsmen then take the cured lumber and build, UV treat, seal, inspect, and sign and number the piece prior to shipment. As a general rule smaller items should be expected to ship 2-6 weeks post purchase. Larger items should be expected to ship 6-10 weeks post purchase. For specific questions about your particular order, please contact us via dee.dannelly@norngaard.com and we will be happy to give you an update.
