Creating unique furniture from sustainable and reclaimed lumber

I make unique and original furniture from locally sourced sustainable and reclaimed lumber. None of my slabs have been logged, they have all come from trees that came down in storms or had to be removed because they were threatening nearby structures.  All of my current inventory is for sale on Etsy.

Some Examples Of My Work

Below are some pieces I have created recently.
