American Chestnut went extinct in the early 1900's, victim to a blight that effectively wiped it out in the course of a few years. While the Shenandoah Valley will never know another spring abloom with the abundant white flowers of the thousands of chestnut trees that used to grow here, it is comforting to know that the trees still live on, harbored in the homes of people who appreciate their beautiful wood. Our hand made bed frame is crafted from solid reclaimed wormy chestnut for an authentic country look you simply cannot get any other way! This bed stands out for its rugged strength, antique charm and inviting appeal. It comes with headboard, footboard , side rails and drop-in planks if needed.

For Antique Reclaimed Tulip Tree Farm BenchI love my new bench. It's solidly built and a quality that you cannot buy in stores, plus it's made in America. I wouldn't hesitate to do another project with the Strong Oaks Woodshop.

For Reclaimed Antique Oak Rustic Dining ChairsThis chair is an exact match to a table I purchased also through Etsy. It's just awesome.

For Reclaimed Wormy Chestnut Wheat Sheaf Spindle Back ChairsThe whole experience is top notch and 5 star. Wonderful table and chairs. I cant even begin to describe the meticulous detail and characteristics that went in to my project. Both far exceed my expectations. We were like kids on Christmas morning when it arrived. Very well packaged too. Beautiful natural markings on the wood just add to the character. Not to mention the wood smells heavenly. Definitely a "wow" when you enter our house. If you are tossing around the idea of getting one of these tables and chairs from Mike just do it, don't wait, you won't be disappointed. Better than anything you can find in the store.

For Sarah's BedThe final product is great - really solid construction and very well made. The communication from the shop was extremely poor. What was projected to be a 2 to 3 week project turned into and 2 to 3 month project and I had to reach out on numerous occasions to inquire about the status. When the product was finally delivered it was not completed to the specifications provided (the bed slats were left unstained) but the shop indicated it would correct the oversight. It did resolve part of the issue by sending new stained slats but I was informed that I would have to stain the center slat myself. Overall, I am very satisfied with the bed but I am confused by the entire process and communication.
