Custom Louvered Vent Cover

A client in Atherton had a vent in a very visible spot that always felt like an eyesore, so they asked me to design a custom maple cover that would elevate the space rather than distract from it. Achieving the clean, even louver spacing took some thoughtful problem-solving and careful jig work, but the final piece came out beautifully. The natural maple tone looks fantastic, and the client couldn’t have been happier.
