THE PIECE: This free standing juniper taxidermy pedestal. The white wood is polished to a 400 grit finish, The knots and base are polished to a steal wool finish. This pedestal will give any mount a very natural look. To complete the pedestal we put a coat or clear seal a cell to protect it.
THE WOOD: For our Taxidermy Pedestals we 90% of the time use twisted juniper. We love working with the juniper due to how every piece is a one of a kind. The juniper has such a large diversity of shape and sizes that allows us to make all sorts of different types of taxidermy stands. We will occasionally use burl pine for taxidermy stands as well.
THE PROCESS:- All completed taxidermy pedestals are pressure washed to remove the bark, sandblasted to clean out the crevices and hard to reach areas, power sanded to remove the aged and scratched surface, hand sanded for a smooth artistic finish, 4 coats of a hand rubbed oil finish and then a finishing/reconditioning oil applied before shipping. Our goal is to bring out the beauty in the pedestals and to keep all coloring, shape and contours in their natural state.
GENERAL INFO:- All of our pieces are 100% handcrafted, custom made with great attention to detail.

Creating Handcrafted Juniper Wood Furniture
Bringing to you and your family, one of a kind, wood furniture
Who are we?
Rocky Mountain Twist specializes in juniper log furniture bringing you uniqueness and elegance at the same time.
We are a family owned and operated home-based business located in Maybell, Colorado, where juniper grows in abundance, making our ideas limitless and every piece of furniture we craft unique.
We collect all of the wood ourselves. In our
adventures we have discovered that the more rugged & harsh the country the more unique the pieces of wood become. All of our wood is pressure washed, hand sanded and has a hand rubbed oil finish.There is no color added; all colors of the wood are 100% natural. We pay special attention to every detail.
Everything is one of a kind. A lot of blood, sweat and sometimes a few tears goes into every piece.
The products that we create are; tables, candle holders, table & floor lamps, taxidermy pedestals and art sculpture display stands. All of our products can be enhanced with stone inlay.
A guide to the best items from the best makers and the stories behind them.

For Australian Jarrah Wood Bar, Bistro, Pub Table With Twisted Juniper Log Pedestal And Stone InlayI wish I could give Candy & Tim ten stars. This is a stunningly beautiful table they made for us. Our top is actually a redwood slab, with malachite inlays. The twisted juniper base is simply other-wordly. I don't think I can attach pictures to the review; I wish I could. Hopefully, they will post some pictures on their page. You cannot go wrong doing business with Tim & Candy. From start to finish, they are a wonderful combination of artistic sensibility, fine craftsmanship, professional communications, and friendliness. They also packaged and shipped our half-ton+ table better than any thing I have ever seen in my life. Although I have never met them in person, I hope I get to some day. They are welcome in our home any time to visit the gorgeous work they did for us. We are ecstatic.
