Coffee Table Of Reclaimed Wood And Brushed Alloy Steel
the great thing about using me and custommade.com for your furniture needs is you can get what you WANT - without settling for what is already made. this is one example of a custom coffee table i designed WITH the customer. how do you want yours? -tim Here are some details on the project from the maker: as discussed, this proposal is for a 48" X24" X 16" coffee table. it will be made with either a reclaimed chestnut or reclaimed oak top. it will be about 1" thick and be smooth to the touch while still retaining some of the characteristics of reclaimed wood. the base will be made of salvaged steel and will have 4 legs, two side rails and some cross bracing that will be basically unseen.

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 Bar Cart5.0We 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.

For Chevy Sideboard5.0There 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 Custom frame for military trunk5.0Tim 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!

For custom table made out of antique wood window shutter5.0I love my new coffee table. Tim was very easy to work with and understood exactly what I wanted. Suggested some changes that made it great!
Thanks again!

For Custom Guitars From Reclaimed Materials5.0This 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.
