The Drummer's Throne

The Drummer's Throne

Made from salvaged maple, used drum sticks and a used past its prime bass drum. The chair is lightweight and strong - and your neighbors certainly don't have one, too.

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 youtube.com/timsway you will find more than one hundred video of things i've made.

    Tim 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.

    Tim Sway did an awesome job on my mini chess board!!! He explained the process, worked out the details with me, gave me options, and created something truly unique. And it looks exactly like the picture I provided!!!

    I definitely want to work with him again!!!

    Thank you so much, Tim!!

    Tim was a joy to work with. He was able to take our very primitive ideas and turn them into beautiful, functional pieces of art! Tim created both a kitchen table and hutch that exceeded our expectations. We can't say enough about the quality of his work, the ease with which we were able to communicate and our eagerness to work with him again…all around a great experience!

    Tim is super fun and easy to work with. He had lots of creative suggestions for our project (turning my grandfather's WWII trunk into a coffee table), and the finished product was completely perfect, even better than we hoped for!
