Based in Ojai, CA

. You’re investing in a truly handmade, one-of-a-kind item that has a story to tell and will last for generations. Most materials are salvaged or sourced locally and responsibly. Riley takes pride in sourcing lumber that was felled naturally or salvaging trees that have been cut down on privately owned land. Even the scrap pieces get used in the shop.

From source to form, nature to heirloom. We take the raw beauty nature provides and guide it to our client’s visions. Interweaving the delicate balance of form and function in every custom piece, tailored to exact specifications.
There is truly nothing that can compare to a custom piece made exactly for you. That is the essence of what we do at Meisch Made. Providing an heirloom for generations, the perfect desk you’ve always dreamed of, a bed for your grandchildren. Every piece is made by hand, drawings made by our dreams and visions. Nothing computer generated.
Nothing artificial.
Nature’s intelligence.
Irreplaceable.

With all our gratitude,
-Riley Meisch

In the shop, in the office, on site, on the phone, in my mind, onto paper and into reality. Every project I begin has a process. A distinct feel and flow. Long ago I thought I’d get away from custom pieces but each new project brings something different, challenging and rewarding.

Love what you do.
Do it well.

How many different slat walls have we done!? So many. In a home or office they add beauty as well as privacy and a clear separation of spaces. This one was 10’ tall and 10’ wide. White oak and blackened steel.

“Work” to me is an everyday is a practice in patience and discipline. A constant reminder to take things slow, do them well, and push yourself a little further every chance you get. Feeling very grateful I can call this craft a job when really it’s just a part of my life I can never leave behind.
So I remind myself, smile on your mistakes, they are teaching you something.
Take on that project you feel afraid of, it will make you better.
When things are slow, it means something big is coming, trust.
“The greatest liberty is being a slave to what you love, and never wanting to escape that bondage.” -Martin Prechtel

Wrapped up this walnut floating vanity this week. It’s heading to Sea Ranch, CA along with the bed and table I made for the same client. This vanity will exactly match his bed thanks to a custom stain from

A lot of people might say this is a waste of walnut but there’s more than just grain and color in a piece. How does the piece fit with the other elements in the home? What about the floors and walls? What color what texture? How does one relate to the other and what does the whole thing look like together? I have a lot of respect for interior designers and their job of putting all the pieces together in a beautiful unique puzzle.
