The bench path
- 01
Reference
Yao starts with the photograph, drawing, old piece, or missing-size problem in front of him.
- 02
Design direction
The custom direction is resolved around proportion, function, and the reference without treating it as an automatic copy.
- 03
Bench build
When the project calls for a finished piece, Yao carries the approved direction through the required making stages.
- 04
Final finish
The finished build is cleaned up and polished for its final form.

Questions before the bench
What can I start with?
A photograph, drawing, old piece, wrong-size item, or clear idea can start the conversation. Reference-based work becomes an original custom build guided by what you bring, not an automatic copy of protected branding.
How are private references handled?
Private references stay in the project conversation and are not used as public proof without separate permission.
How is precious-metal work scoped?
Precious-metal work is evaluated for the actual build and quoted per project instead of treated like a fixed catalog item.
Complicated work may need a conversation before an order is created. That keeps the scope tied to the actual piece.
