Sustainable, functional beauty. As an environmental educator I enjoy connecting people with the wonders of our natural world. I have a tremendous amount of interest in the trees that shape our forests- from their ability to sustain our ecosystems to their uniqueness and beauty. Our coat racks are constructed using natural edge planks of local hardwoods. These planks are sustainably harvested right here in the southern Appalachian mountains. A natural edge reminds the user from the forest from which it comes, and a contrasting slat of wood with matching wood dowels provides a stylish, yet rustic, accent. These sturdy coat racks will accommodate a wide assortment of items, including coats, hats, bags, leashes and more. They are finished with a non-toxic when cured finish and include mounting hardware. Custom sizes can vary from 18 inches in length to up to 36 inches in length. Any number of dowel pegs can be added, but a ratio of one peg per six inches is suggested. Cherry, walnut and maple are the most common selections for the base plank, but if you have an interest in a different species of tree we're happy to track one down. Price is based upon length, $3.00 per inch (for instance, an 18-inch long coat rack features two pegs and costs $54.00).

I am a professional environmental educator and naturalist in Western North Carolina who enjoys using locally harvested and reclaimed hardwoods in designing and building functional woodwork.
I have a strong interest in creating works that highlight the biodiversity and character of the Southern Appalachians. If that appeals you you, let me know!
The wood I use in all projects is sustainably harvested and in most cases locally sourced. I do not use any exotic hardwoods, as these are often not harvested sustainably and create a large environmental impact by shipping them to the United States. All wood glue is food-safe when cured and waterproof. Finishes are all non-toxic.
Incredible work once again, Jon! What a gorgeous piece in exactly the shape of their favorite place. Truly a work of art! Thank you, thank you, Jon. A gift that will keep on giving for many years.
The cutting board that I requested is beautiful and compliments my kitchen cabinets and decor very well. The craftsmanship is outstanding and I would highly recommend this company to anyone.
I just received my cherry wood cutting board today. It's an incredible work of art! I'm very happy both with the quality of the work and the fair price that Jonathan quoted for the project. If you have an opportunity to work with this exceptionally skilled artist, do so! Thanks, Jonathan, for this new treasured family heirloom.
Ordered a cutting board from Stonefly - had a certain aesthetic that i was aiming for - sort of a slightly rustic yet substantial look/feel. Finished product was beautiful and exceeded my expectations - the darker and lighter color striations give the board a very unique and non-commercial feel. Board was also delivered in a timely fashion and would definitely look to buy more from Stonefly in the future.
Jonathan is very easy to work with, great quality and made to my exact specifications. I have already started another project with him!
