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.

    For Reclaimed wood counter height table Length 76 inches, Width 38 inches and Height 36 inches

    We love our Tim Sway table. It's the Reclaimed Barn Beam Dining Table and Tim did an amazing job of creating a table that's beautiful, functional and made our vision come to life. We knew that we wanted a tall island/dining table for our newly renovated New England kitchen. And we wanted reclaimed wood with some history. Tim was very helpful with ideas and direction, both with functional concerns (build/usage) and also creative options (wood/metal). He found some nice local heavy barn wood. The final piece was created with frequent consultation and he was always quick to return emails and send photos during the process. We even visited during its build. Honestly, it's better than we ever imagined. It's a delight to eat at this table, use it for food prep, and just hang around. And it's so strong you could park a truck on it! The table is the centerpiece of our kitchen upgrade. It was a pleasure working with Tim. He's talented, attentive … and is a really nice guy.

    This was my first experience with Custom Made, and it rocked! Tim did such an awesome job on the bass. He finished way ahead of his projection and kept it at a very reasonable price. The bass itself is beautiful; it plays so well. I’ve owned many basses in my day, but this is by far the most unique. I cannot recommend Tim Sway Perspectives enough.

    His communication throughout the project was fantastic; I received updates regularly. He was very open to my input, which was great. Tim definitely wants the customer to be satisfied.

    If you want a really cool bass [or guitar], look no further. Do yourself a favor and let Tim Sway make it for you.

    Tim was fantastic throughout the entire project. He obviously listened very carefully to my husband and myself, and our kitchen island turned out to be everything that we had envisioned and more. He was communicative, respectful, and very timely. I will definitely ask him to help us with future projects.

    For Ebony Organ Key Pendant

    Thank 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!
