Tropical Almond Waterfall Bench

$995

I make Exotic wood slab furniture right here in South Florida from native trees we have harvested and aged for years. Available exotic woods are Florida Live Oak, Mahogany, Tropical Almond (pic of bench as shown) Albizia, Tamarind, Rosewood, and Florida Cherry. E-Mail for wood sample pic's. This bench is ready to ship …… Shown is a 2" thick Tropical Almond Garden Bench approx 54" X 14" at the widest end and tapering to 12" at the narrow end. Albizia inserts at the bevels for added strength. This log is a half round cut to order by me for this design …. Benches can be made you your custom requirements. Build time is approx 4 weeks or less depending on size and availability of exotic wood species.. But this one is ready to go… Finish is a 5 coat Spar-Urethane coating that was hand sanded between coats and a hand rubbed final coat. Custom pieces can be commissioned and built to your specifications, sizes and colors. You can choose the type of exotic woods and the finishes. You can even pick out the exact slabs we use to produce your piece at the sawmill during the milling process. Dining room tables, side bars, benches, coffee tables, chairs, bookshelf units, wall units, wall mounted shelves, custom made picture frames, kitchen & bath countertops can all be custom built for you out of exotic woods. One-of-a-kind pieces of wood art with or without live edges are what we do. . . If you can imagine it . . .we can build it. Thx. Dave Sutton

My name is Dave Sutton.
Retiring after fifteen years of being a professional flats guide here in South Florida due to the 2009 recession and the gulf oil spill.
I then worked at home for Hotel Vanities International and have a small, but very well equipped wood shop in the back yard.
I have now moved to the mountains of Murphy, North Carolina and am in the process of building my retirement home and new workshop.

For almost 40 years I have given my very best effort to create heirloom quality pieces for every one of my customers that will last a lifetime.

Almost 4 decades of wood crafting has taught me one thing. If I want it done just right…
I have to do it myself.
If I don't like it, you won't see it. It's that simple.

I am the designer, craftsman and woodworker,
I pick the log and the slabs, I do the shaping and all the sanding. All of the assembly and fitting ??? Yup…all me.
I also do the hand rubbed finishes myself as well.

I learned my trade growing up in Rhode Island building handmade strip-wood canoes, hand made cabinets, slab furniture and working in various shipyards on the coast of Maine till I moved to Florida in 1990.

Finding all of the exotic woods available to me here was amazing. I was like a little kid in a candy store.

I now have built and moved into my retirement cabin in Murphy, NC and have just finished my new workshop. I love the mountains and the people here …

    I'm thrilled with the product, and definitely would love to work with Dave again should the opportunity arise. I couldn't have asked for a better product. I did not think I would own a cane of this beautiful workmanship, but Dave gladly worked with me to make it happen. Thanks a million Dave.

    My husband who is a BMW aficionado suffers from MS. I figured one of the only was I would be able to convince him to use a can was one that had a little bit of BMW incorporated. Dave Sutton was able to get a BMW gear shift for the handle -BINGO! Craftsmanship is superb. The turnaround time was much faster than I figured it would be. Mr. Sutton kept me informed of the entire process. Big thanks and shoutout to Mr. Sutton!

    Dave helped me in crafting a custom cane for my 6'3" 300 pound father. We were able to specify the woods used and Dave made several recommendations I would not have thought of to ensure it would support his weight. The finish and craftsmanship are top notch. Dave stayed in touch through the process updating me on status and ship date. I highly recommend you consider Dave for your project.
