40 years building the finest Arts & Crafts furniture.

Sorry for the homespun backdrop….we don't have the room to photo the set properly. There is nothing like these pieces….anywhere.

Our construction quality is assured and evident. Every inch of these pieces is covered in spiral grain and quartersawn flaking. These two elements combine to produce a quilted look. The depth of our aniline dye finish, and the multiple coats of hand-rubbed lacquer make these pieces a visual delight. We resaw the slats, so we have dozens of bookmatched pieces to arrange in a visually stunning pattern. The stands have the best hardware and hinges available.

I sawed the wood for these pieces in 1979. The logs came from a 10 acre North Slope bench that was also covered in big Maples. We did a management harvest and prepped all the timber remaining for optimal growth. Then, climate change killed all the timber on the bench, and we are forced to convert it to pasture.

Old Hippies
Arts and Crafts furniture, handmade one piece at a time, has been our sole enterprise since 1984. The shop consists of Michael and Judy, who have homesteaded the land since the, "back to the land", movement of the early 1970s. Adding on, in the early 80s were the twins Jennifer and Alana, and quickly thereafter, Christopher.

We own and manage a 160 acre, timbered mountaintop. It is a sustainable "Tree Farm" near the headwaters of the Buffalo National River and the Ozark National Forest, in NW Arkansas. There ,we raise, log, saw and kiln dry our own lumber for our furniture. We also produce all the building lumber needed for our homes and shop. Our Mobile Dimension Sawmill has been providing lumber from our logs since 1978.
Our work was used to reacquire the Copyright on the Roycroft Orb-and-Cross, and we were the first to produce and display a comprehensive grouping of Stickley reproduction furniture at the Grove Park conference in 1989. You will find our furniture among collections of the finest Masters of the style, notably in "Brantwoode" in Hellensburgh, Scotland. Our furniture was designed for the Governor's Reception Room, Old Supreme Court Chambers, and Senate Chambers, for the Capitol Restoration Project in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Rewarding our 50 year dedication to "sustainability", one of our podiums was chosen for Geddes Hall at Notre Dame University. The entire project, the building, fittings, and furniture, incorporated sustainable products. The effort has received numerous Awards for its comprehensive "green" design.

Our commitment is simple….
Tastefully designed, handmade, functional furniture of unsurpassed quality, that will endure for generations. .

For 50 years, we have added a broad measure of sustainability to our efforts. We selectively harvest trees from our timberland, which has been managed in the American "Tree Farm" system since 1978. We also maintain a low impact lifestyle, by being largely self-sufficient. Several acres of Organic garden and orchard fill 8 freezers each year. We heat our house, shop, water, and studio, over 10,000 sq ft, with wood that is cut on the property. We maintain a small farm," Upside Downs Farms ", where we raise and sell produce and raw milk. Also, we raise and train home milk cows for families. https://www.facebook.com/UpsideDownsFarms/

We stand firm in our commitment to honor the treasure that is our forests by producing a high quality product that is desirable and durable, through a process that is sustainable and ecologically sound.

To view sustainability through the narrow focus of changing to LED light bulbs, or using less gasoline, is really an attempt to justify an elaborate ruse. It is the core of our lives that need to be shifted towards a more durable path.

The interaction between artisan, customer, and community is a first step along one of those paths. We humanize and personalize what has become a monolithic consumption pyramid. We do not build furniture to sell to you….rather, we build furniture FOR you.

Tasteful design and uncompromising craftsmanship define our view of the past and the future of the Arts & Crafts Movement. Our furniture will continue to enhance lives long after we are dust.

WE GUARANTEE OUR WORK TO EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS.

WE GUARANTEE THAT OUR FINISH WILL SPOIL YOU FOREVER.

WE GUARANTEE THE FINEST FIT, FINISH, AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL, PERIOD.
