King-Size Bed With Storage And Headboard
A CustomMade project that was a ton of fun to make and install. king-sized bed frame made of 200-year-old reclaimed barn wood heart pine and a head board made of antique interior doors and antique exterior house columns from a yale university property. extra care was taken to insure there was no lead-based paint, it was hypo-allergenic and eco-friendly. all the paint work on the head board was done with latex paints and the base was finished only with water-based polyurethane (no stains or dyes). i assembled and installed the bed in the customer's home. a little more info can be found here: http://youtu.be/9QnUYhDUb94 thanks for looking, tim

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
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 a king-sized bed wtih storage drawers underneath made of reclaimed/distressed wood5.0Tim 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.

For Reclaimed wood counter height table Length 76 inches, Width 38 inches and Height 36 inches5.0We love our Tim Sway table. It's the Reclaimed Barn Beam Dining Table and Tim did an amazing job of creating a table that's beautiful, functional and made our vision come to life. We knew that we wanted a tall island/dining table for our newly renovated New England kitchen. And we wanted reclaimed wood with some history. Tim was very helpful with ideas and direction, both with functional concerns (build/usage) and also creative options (wood/metal). He found some nice local heavy barn wood. The final piece was created with frequent consultation and he was always quick to return emails and send photos during the process. We even visited during its build. Honestly, it's better than we ever imagined. It's a delight to eat at this table, use it for food prep, and just hang around. And it's so strong you could park a truck on it! The table is the centerpiece of our kitchen upgrade. It was a pleasure working with Tim. He's talented, attentive … and is a really nice guy.
