"Handmade Reclaimed Joinery"

Custom woodworks made from a variety of vintage reclaimed hardwoods from the Cumberland Plateau in East Tennessee and fine exotic woods from around the world.

Specializing in American Wormy Chestnut, Appalachian Framery combines simple aesthetic lines with time-honored mortise & tenon joinery to create classic works of functional art. Most of my recent works are stain-free. I'm simply letting the wood species dictate the colors and tones.

Appalachian Framery is one man in East Tennessee creating by hand.
My formal education in woodworking includes Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts and Gregory Paolini Design.

My day job is wildland firefighting so in a sense my life has a strong connection to wood. Primarily using prescribed burning, I restore and maintain ecosystems throughout the South East. Managing wildfires is the other side of the job. Amongst those activities, I work wood.

Shane was great to work with. Communicated every day with photos. It was packaged securely and arrived on time. The frame is amazing and glad it was made from recycled wood. Really a great experience! ,

For Challenge Coin Display

What you want to know: the display looks and is high quality, the maker was especially communicative about the specifications, and I'm placing another order for two once I finish this review. Enjoy.

For Custom American Chestnut Picture Frames

Working with Shane was a fantastic experience! The picture frames I ordered were beautifully made, accurate to the specifications we agreed to, and finished on time. Further, I'm glad the picture frames I had built were from recycled wood. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this maker!
