yea, you read it right. the wood was salvaged in the 11th hour from a deconstructed house in middletown ct. the holes are where the outlets and light switches were. the base is what used to hold up a cocktail table video game from the 1980s. both pieces are byproducts of other recent reclaimed projects of mine. they wanted to be together. the wood had been shellacked, the base has been ground clean here and there. it's adjustable from 17" to 21" high. the bench seat is about 44" long and 13ish" wide. it's all kinds of awesome. shipping is via greyhound express. this means you need to pick it up at your nearest greyhound bus station. make sure that's doable before buying. pickup/delivery and other options are available. contact me to discuss prior to purchase. thanks for looking! -tim
A Maker who has been a valued part of this community for several years.
Customers say that this Maker ships promptly after completing a project.
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 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!
