We design and built custom rustic furniture using natural wood such as logs, driftwood, and live edge wood. Although our roots began in rustic log furniture, we have evolved to primarily using wood slabs. Special care is taken to craft functional, but artistic custom wood furniture such as live edge tables. We started out building rustic log furniture with eastern red cedar. Kelly harvested all the log from trees that have lived their life. The early style included a simple log bed design, rustic tables, and log vanities, along with many natural wood furniture pieces. Today, our furniture maker designs rustic wood furniture that highlights the natural wood grain pattern in the wood slabs we use. Whether it is a rare big leaf maple burl, redwood burl, or claro walnut wood slab, the options are limitless as custom furniture.
Custom Rustic Furniture
Wood Furniture
We specialize in rustic furniture that features material sourced from nature. As we incorporate logs, stumps and other live edge wood materials found in nature for a natural look. Our furniture maker crafts a variety of natural wood furniture within the rustic theme. One of the top questions we hear is, “Does the wood dictate the design or does the design determine the wood?” The truth is that both occur, depending on the project. Our primary aim is to stay true to the wood by highlighting its natural beauty. Whether it is a rustic table or rustic bathroom vanity we want to showcase the beauty of the wood. We try to source our material from dead standing trees or from logs and root systems left on the forest floor. We are not tree huggers but we desire to be environmentally responsible in crafting our custom rustic furniture. Because we use real wood, challenges are inherent, however, we embrace them and actually seek them out. For example, we use gnarly live edge wood slabs, driftwood, twisted juniper, and complex stumps. The more imperfections with checks, knots, holes and more, the better. Our designer and custom furniture maker turns a challenge to a work of art and beauty.
