Each piece of wood is gathered from the forests of the Ozark Mountains. These stumps, pieces of driftwood, and branches are then carefully rinsed off, sun-dried, and cleared of all debris before being made into a piece. I work hard to leave as much of the natural shape intact as I can, because I believe nature is already art. I prefer to seal pieces before shipping but if you would like them unsealed, this can also be arranged. Some of these pieces are made into sculptures, such as a raven, dragon, or eagle. Others are made into tables, chairs, bars, lamps, shelving, or other types of furniture. Because these are all found pieces, no two are alike. If you have an idea for wood furniture, I would love to work with you to make your wood vision come to life.

Bring the beauty of nature into your home with one of my pre-made creations or order something based off your own design. My name is Brian Bles and I framed houses for over 25 years. Now I am dedicating my time to creating custom art and furniture.
Living in the magnificent Ozark Mountains of Arkansas gives me the opportunity to discover the beauty of nature and use it in my work. My materials are carefully selected from nature. After that, they are hand washed and sun-dried before I assemble them into the original art or made-to-order furniture that I take such great pride in. I then seal them with a clear coat before they are carefully shipped. I also create wooden tongue drums and one-of-a-kind art sculptures and jewelry.
In addition, I enjoy building custom wood spiral staircase kits. These can either be shipped in pieces for self-assembly or I can install for an additional fee.
Every piece is handmade and guaranteed to be unique. If you have a wood vision or want a one-of-a-kind creation I look forward to the challenge and would love to share my art with you so that you can enjoy your personal vision for years to come.

For Record Storage UnitI had very high expectations for this project and Brian met / exceeded them in all aspects. He was very communicative, responsive, and offered great insight into the features I was looking for. I initially set out just looking for a unit to hold my albums, but thru our conversations he was able to build in my turntable and receiver. Quality work, craftsmanship, timeliness.....you name it, solid all around. Kevin
