Rustic Bookends

$50

Various cut-offs along with scrap odds and ends are reclaimed for a second time as bookends. Several styles and wood types are available. Very much like the books they hold, each individual piece of wood ends up being very distinctive and one of a kind.

About Me
Twenty-five years ago we instantly fell in love with a 100-year-old farmhouse. We reveled in its unique architecture, old world craftsmanship and a chance to preserve history. All through the years since then it became the ultimate outlet to perfect both my artistic and carpentry skills.

About My Business
My disdain for mass-produced furnishings lead me to the creation of many unique custom-made pieces. By combining a passion for historical materials with modern design, I was able to preserve a bit of the past into the future. Old barn wood was transformed into tables, bathroom fixtures, kitchen cabinets and anything else I could apply my artistry to. Broken Mexican tile was fashioned into beautiful mosaic inlays. Collected stones, shells and driftwood were melded with old growth wood to recreate natural beauty.

    The shelf we received was exactly what we ordered and looks fantastic. It came a little late, but Ron was super great about communicating and letting us know in advance - and honestly our deadline was pretty flexible anyhow. The instructions on installation and included hardware was clear and the workmanship was incredibly solid. we would highly recommend Ron's work for a custom project.

    We were hesitant to get shelves made from someone out of state. It seemed odd that we wouldn't find someone local but this worked out perfectly. Without having to run around town all weekend finding reclaimed wood for a shelf pantry project, I found Ron here and couldn't be happier. He was prompt in communication, knew exactly what would work, and delivered as promised. He was way easier to work with than some local contractors and we haven even met in person! I totally loved the floating shelves he made us for our little pantry. They had a rusticity to our 2003 townhome. I would love it if Ron could work on my whole house!

    We wanted three floating shelves of rustic wood to mimic the beams in our kitchen. We were so happy with the process and results. They are beautiful and exactly what we wanted. This is a great site and Ron was fabulous. Thanks!

    Ron was great and I love my shelves. He was very responsive and answered all questions throughout the process. I was unhappy with the color I picked; and, Ron sent me the material needed to alter them at home myself free of charge. I would provide a picture but I have not hung them yet. It is on my list to do this weekend. If you want something unique and
