I am an independent artist/artisan working exclusively in reclaimed, recycled, upcycled and found materials.
i make the useless useful again. i make worthless things priceless.
from conception, to making it to sweeping up, i am a one-man operation - by design.
my work is not for everyone. my customers are people who want truly unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that are made fairly and ethically from locally salvaged materials - with as small a footprint as i can muster.
i will make and ship things all over the united states (depending on size) but i prefer to work regionally (Boston to NYC and thereabouts).
listed on this page are some pieces i've made for others and some pieces i have available for sale. but what i really want to do is design and make what YOU want. let's do it!
be good,
tim
oh yeah, at youtube.com/timsway you will find more than one hundred video of things i've made.

For Chevy SideboardThere are not enough stars to give Tim. He is incredibly talented, thoughtful, considerate, communicative, timely, caring, and creative. The ultimate testimony to him is my current search for another project to work on together. He is a true pro and a genuinely good person.

For LoveTim was such a great person to work with on this project. I had an idea to create a custom Scotch Cabinet for my Husband's wedding gift and Tim brought this idea to life. He listened to my ideas and was able to create exactly what I envisioned. He communicated with me on a daily basis by sending e-mails with questions, suggestions and even pictures of the steps he was taking. He very is talented on many levels, not only was he able to bring my idea to life, but he was able to capture the style I envisioned. I would recommend Tim Sway Perspectives for anyone working on a unique project. It will definitely be a great experience!

For a king-sized bed wtih storage drawers underneath made of reclaimed/distressed woodTim did an amazing job on my bedframe and headboard. He is so talented! The finished project exceeded my expectations. It is so beautiful!! I can't recommend Tim enough. He was professional and kept me in the loop throughout the process. He provided pictures and even filmed a short video for me. Tim also installed the bed in my home and made sure that it was extremely secure. Tim was so thoughtful throughout the process, even doing little things like making sure the top of the bedframe was sanded smoothly so that I don't get a splinter while making the bed and tucking the bedsheets. He is one talented guy.
