ABOUT RICH
Richard Wright has been a carpenter for over 30 years, getting his start at just 16 years old while framing homes for his father’s company. That early experience instilled in him the value of doing things right from the start because a strong frame is the foundation of every good home.
Throughout his career, Richard has explored every aspect of home carpentry, but he found his true passion in interior trim and furniture making. He loves the opportunity to focus on fine details and tailor each project to the character of the home and the people who live in it.
Richard’s core values - quality craftsmanship, timeliness, thoroughness, and attention to detail - are evident in every job. He leads his crew with the same high standards, taking pride in delivering expert results, done quickly and cleanly.
behind the name
Imagine this: you're building an heirloom kitchen table, planing down barnwood reclaimed from Grandpa’s old farm. As you shape the wood, a single 4x4 reveals layer after layer of a grain pattern so intricate and mesmerizing, it stops you in your tracks. It’s a story written in the wood: the age lines of the tree, the memory of seasons past, and the history it holds. That grain becomes part of your home’s story, too.
That’s what inspires us.
The grain is ancient and often hidden. Arcane. Our name honors the quiet complexity within the wood - those subtle, powerful qualities that support the structures we live in. At Arcane Grain, we hold deep respect for these unseen details and the craft it takes to reveal them. We bring that same reverence to every project, focusing on fine craftsmanship and lasting quality in everything we build.
From our story to yours. Craftsmanship that endures.
Every detail we craft - every line of trim, every mitered edge, every clean reveal - is part of a bigger picture: the life you’re building inside your home. We don’t just show up to do the job. We show up to get it right, to care about the things that matter, and to leave behind something that lasts.
Because to us, it’s not just wood and nails. It’s pride. It’s legacy. It’s trust.
