OUT-OF-STANDARD COMMISSIONS
Custom Ledger Inquiry
Some work does not belong inside a standard builder path.

Review Chain
How Custom Inquiry Review Works
Nothing enters the bench from this form. The inquiry is reviewed first, then routed.
01 — Submit the Inquiry
Send the clearest build description possible: object type, closest standard format, material preference, approximate dimensions, handle direction, finish direction, engraving direction, and what makes the request custom.
02 — House Review
The inquiry is reviewed for fit, scope, material suitability, legality, and bench capacity.
03 — Scope Response
If the work fits the House standard, the next instruction may include builder routing, clarification request, source-file request, or a private custom build path.
04 — Pricing and Payment
Custom work does not begin from this form. If accepted, the final path requires full-price payment before Bench Release.
05 — Bench Release
Only a paid and accepted commission enters the active bench chain.
Engraving Files
Image Engraving Source Files
Do not force artwork through this form. For House-level image engraving, submit the inquiry first. If the concept fits, source files are emailed with the customer name and order or Build Record reference included in the subject line.
Engraving files: commissions.subspace@gmail.com
Subject format: ENGRAVING FILE — [Customer Name] — [Build Record / Order Reference]
Notice: No image engraving begins until the source file is reviewed. Proof approval may be required before the work proceeds.
