SOVEREIGN BUILDER

Begin With the Tool

Begin with the instrument, then choose the wood. The live build view develops as the physical profile is established.

Instrument Pending
Material Pending
Workshop builder ready

Crafted for those who live with intention.

InstrumentNot selected
WoodNot selected
HandleNot selected
AlignmentOptional

Reference preview only. Every board is unique. Final grain, tone, pore structure, and finish absorption vary naturally from the rendered reference.

Step 01

Tool

Choose the instrument first. It establishes the geometry, base price, and compatible options for the rest of the build.

Step 02

Wood

Choose the species by grain, color, character, and material tier. Pricing is shown before you continue.

Foundation / Included

Base-price species selected for reliable performance and honest grain.

Workshop Woods

Core hardwoods with a modest material upcharge and strong everyday character.

Signature Woods

Elevated species with more distinctive figure, color, or material character.

Reserve Woods

Exotic and limited-availability species with the material price shown for the selected tool.

Step 03

Handle Profile

Paddles only. Choose the physical handle profile that defines the paddle silhouette. Cane profiles are fixed.

The wood chosen in Step 2 is applied to the profile selected here. Nothing is rendered before this selection.

Step 04

Leather + Grip

Choose the compatible leather treatment for the selected tool. Preview each available option on the live build.

Step 05

Body Work

Add compatible surface details. Body options can stack when the selected tool supports them.

Step 06

Engraving

Keep a clean face or add text engraving. Choose the engraving path, scale, placement, and orientation, then verify the preview.

Engraving unavailable

The selected Directive Cane does not accept engraving. Continue with a clean face.

Consequence Cane / Basic Text Only

Select any of the four flat faces. Each face has one standard, lengthwise inscription and adds $20 to the build. Enter text independently for every selected face. Select Preview Face to inspect its engraving on the composite render.

No faces selected.

The original selected file is not resized or recompressed by the builder. The preview uses a separate browser copy.
Choose how much of the tool face the engraving may occupy. The copper boundary on the preview is the paid proof area.
Selecting a position moves the copper coverage boundary and the uploaded artwork together on the live preview.

4. Fine tune artwork inside the boundary

The position above moves the paid coverage area. These controls move only the artwork inside that boundary for the proof preview.

Preferred source: SVG, PDF, AI, EPS, or high-resolution transparent PNG. Screenshots and compressed social-media images may require replacement before proof approval.
Engraving process Engraving is burned directly into the wood. There is no printed color, paint, or color fill. Burn tone varies naturally with the selected wood and grain. Production will not begin until The Sub Space Boutique sends a rendered engraving proof and the customer approves it.

Step 07

Finish

Satin oil is the workshop standard unless another active finish profile is specifically offered.

Step 08

Review the Build

Verify the complete specification, selected components, and total before sending the build to cart.

Standard completion is 2-4 weeks after Build Review and production release. For custom artwork, the 2-4 week production window begins only after final artwork proof approval. Shipping standard.
