We custom build live edge furniture and woodcraft. Woodworkers of old began a project by selecting a tree out in the woods. falling the tree, milling the logs, and drying the lumber was as much a part of their craft as the actual building of furniture. Now trees are cut and milled into boards before the craftsman lays eyes on them. While this allows the woodworker to concentrate on his craft, it also renders him one step removed from the resource as he becomes increasingly dependent on a standard of lumber sizes cut by the sawyer. Add to this situation a diminishing supply of quality timber and a clamoring by the public for more mass-produced goods at lower cost, and you will have a recipe for mass-produced, inexpensive furniture. The resulting product will have lost most, if not all, of the craftsman’s touch and even custom-made furniture will be dictated by what wood the builder is able to buy. We have brought furniture making full-circle. We go out and salvage trees, cut them into logs, mill the logs into slabs and dry the slabs in our large solar kiln.

We get trees form many sources. Most of our lumber is cut from trees that came down in storms or were cleared from lots or roadways. Our source of lumber allows us to work beyond the standard sizes, shapes and types of wood that lumber dealers happen to stock. We get some exotic wood that you just can’t find in a lumberyard. We slab our wood leaving the natural edge (thus the name live edge) so that the furniture we build retains the natural beauty of the living tree. We can build a project where all the solid wood is so perfectly matched for grain and color that it appears to have come from the same log—because it did.

With conventional furniture building, little effort is needed to select pieces of wood. Pieces of wood are cut and shaped to conform to needs of the end product. Building live edge furniture is a little different. When building live edge, an effort is made to follow the natural flow of the piece of wood. The wood determines the shape of the piece of furniture. This approach requires more time, but the results are well worth the effort. The end product is very natural looking and is a way of bringing nature inside.
We take great pride in building fine custom furniture. We love to take a project from drawing board to finished product. Please contact us if you would like us to build something for you.
