turns out it was actually a ford bumper sideboard. or a sideford, i guess. reclaimed old lyme ct chestnut was used. see it made here: the bumper was cleaned and brackets were welded to it to attach the wood. a separate "floating" wall bracket was made from reclaimed 2X4s to mount it to the wall. http://www.youtube. com/watch?v=Mh9ZHhIk094 thanks! -tim

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 Reclaimed Barn Wood Storage ChestI can't say enough how impressed I was with Tim and his constant communication to ensure the wooden chest he made for me was exactly what I wanted. I was so unsure of what wood I wanted so he sent me pics of different choices and finally we found a winner! My wooden storage chest has a proud place in our 1892 farmhouse.
Great workmanship…great guy! Thanks Tim!
