These are a couple examples of matching, modular tables made from inexpensive reclaimed wood that can be arranged in different ways and form different patterns depending upon arrangement. Finding unique solutions with reclaimed materials is perhaps my favorite thing to do. What can I make you?

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 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.

For Custom frame for military trunkTim is super fun and easy to work with. He had lots of creative suggestions for our project (turning my grandfather's WWII trunk into a coffee table), and the finished product was completely perfect, even better than we hoped for!

Thanks again!

For Custom Guitars From Reclaimed MaterialsThis was my first experience with Custom Made, and it rocked! Tim did such an awesome job on the bass. He finished way ahead of his projection and kept it at a very reasonable price. The bass itself is beautiful; it plays so well. I’ve owned many basses in my day, but this is by far the most unique. I cannot recommend Tim Sway Perspectives enough.
His communication throughout the project was fantastic; I received updates regularly. He was very open to my input, which was great. Tim definitely wants the customer to be satisfied.
If you want a really cool bass [or guitar], look no further. Do yourself a favor and let Tim Sway make it for you.
