A customer had seen I create bookends on my website and asked me if I could create him a bookend in the shape of a "C", which was the first letter of his girlfriend's name. He knew he liked the look of oak and wanted bark, so I came up with the idea to cut a already hollow log into the shape to give a more natural look as he desired. The bookend is made from a Red Oak log and has a cut flat base for stability and is also cut flat on the book edge. It is approximately 8" in diameter and 5" deep.

Missouri Nature Art specializes in creating unique furniture and home decor using natural or "live edge" wood and driftwood. We have many items we create on a regular basis, but we really enjoy bringing custom ideas to life!
We love working with beautiful lesser known woods that have a ton of character. All of our wood is either rescued, found, or reclaimed/salvaged from Missouri, although we don't mind branching out into other North American woods for certain projects.
Our hallmarks are great customer service and quality to last a life time. Thanks for browsing our shop!

For Natural Edge Frames Created From Red Cedar DriftwoodExactly what I asked for. Totally custom job -- smaller size and easel back for display on a shelf. Even included plexiglass and extra push points to secure the easel back. Peeled the protective plastic off the plexiglass, trimmed the photo, placed it behind the plexiglass, inserted the easel back, secured with the push points, and sealed the rear edges with framing tape to keep out dust. Perfect frame for a photo of a primitive rock painting.

For Driftwood Cedar Log FrameMr. Faupel did an amazing job on the picture frame. He gave me a time frame, kept me up to date on the progress and shipped it out on time. The frame is beautiful. I can tell he took his time to make sure it was done right.
I highly recommend Mat Faupel at Missouri Nature Art.
