Rustic Wood Creations
I offer handcrafted, unique furniture made from hardwoods found in the Pacific Northwest. The woods have been air dried, hand peeled and then sanded, retaining their natural shapes in a functional, if whimsical, furniture piece. Glued mortise and tenon as well as saddle joints are used throughout with the occasional hidden screw for added support. Finishes vary based on the preferences for a commissioned piece. I prefer an oil and beeswax polish finish for most of my work.
