Custom Games
I make custom cribbage sets, Bao boards, Mancala boards, chess games - heck, I've even invented a few of my own. What kind of game do you have in mind?

Tim Sway Perspectives
I am an independent artist/artisan working exclusively in reclaimed, recycled, upcycled and found materials.
i make the useless useful again. i make worthless things priceless.
from conception, to making it to sweeping up, i am a one-man operation - by design.
my work is not for everyone. my customers are people who want truly unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that are made fairly and ethically from locally salvaged materials - with as small a footprint as i can muster.
i will make and ship things all over the united states (depending on size) but i prefer to work regionally (Boston to NYC and thereabouts).
listed on this page are some pieces i've made for others and some pieces i have available for sale. but what i really want to do is design and make what YOU want. let's do it!
be good,
tim
oh yeah, at you will find more than one hundred video of things i've made.

Nov 14, 2013Tim was fantastic from first e-mail to delivery. The table is just as I imagined it would be and then some. It is beautiful!

May 2, 2015Thank you for the fast service! Only question I have. It was advertised as a pipe organ key, but my card that came with it said piano. Would love to know which it is! Otherwise, I am so happy with my purchase and workmanship. Thanks!

Aug 8, 2019Tim made me a desk that fit into my bay window space exactly how I envisioned. He was quick, communicative, and precise. He is a top quality craftsman who can be relied on.

Jan 2, 2016We absolutely love the table! It couldn't fit more perfectly in our entryway. It's unique and beautiful. Tim was super quick to respond. Everything went very smoothly, and I would definitely recommend working with Tim to anyone.
