Handmade.
Handmade isn’t a buzzword for us, it’s a way of a life; and a guiding principle. Our passion for design, natural practices and traditional techniques inform every piece we make.
It begins with a tree, shaped by nature and perfected through craft.

Keeping Tradition Alive
-
Superior materials combined with time tested techniques and care is our secret sauce. Our material choices inform every decision about a piece of furniture, from form to function.
We don’t just carefully source material, we are obsessive. Every piece of furniture is created from the same tree, ensuring continuity of grain and superior stability.
All of our material is local, from native hardwoods. Whenever possible we use storm fallen, salvaged and saved trees - often from our own property.
-
Joinery is perhaps the most enticing aspect of woodworking, a time honored tradition that is lost in today’s manufacturing. We strive to use the strongest and most elegant wood joinery in our pieces - even when hidden from sight.
-
Our goal is to create art through woodworking; functional furniture pieces that have been thoughtfully considered and endlessly fussed over.
-
Proportionality in design is perhaps the most important consideration in furniture making. The piece must be proportional in visual aspects, and in ultimate function. Studying even the most mundane characteristics of an object will often reveal secrets to its form.
