Reclaimed Oak Bar/Table

Reclaimed Oak Bar/Table

made entirely from reclaimed oak train station carts, this piece was made to act as a bar/buffet area in customer's house. the customer gave me the design and plans, based on a workbench, and i took it a little further and made it more personal.

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.

    We asked Tim to design a bar cart for us and he did a fantastic job. We gave him a budget and he came up with a great design for our cart. This included a sweet set of wheels made from old water valves. Tim was very responsive and helpful throughout the process, and if we need something else made we will be going back to Tim.

    Tim was an awesome maker to work with! He took the idea, ran with it right away, and more than met the needs of my accelerated timeline. He was extremely communicative and kept me up to date at all times throughout the project. Couldn't have had a better experience!

    There 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.

    I had a blast working with Tim. I had a really simple idea and through his passion for creation he took it to the next level without a hitch. Great guy to work with if you ever need a little inspiration on a project!
