The Beginnings of a Catalog



I've been promising to put together a catalog of furniture made from reclaimed materials.It takes time to determine the right product mix, and to develop efficient ways to actually build the furniture. And to come up with pricing that sells products, and puts food on my family's table.

Most reclaimd furniture I've seen is obviously reclaimed. It has clear finish and the stains and nail holes are obvious. I'm trying to up the ante with traditional styles and stains that minimize rather than accent the inherent flaws. I also offer these products in a variety of lumber species that have not been reclaimed. My furniture is sturdy, and is appropriate for commercial and restaurant applications.

I'm pleased to announce that my first two products are now available at introductory prices:

The Tavern Bench is available in either alder or reclaimed fir. all joints are dadoed or rabbetted. The uprights and seat are a beefy 1-3/8" thick, and the back panel is tongue and groove paneling. approx 20" x 47" x 42" tall. Stain matching and custom widths are available $625.

The Victorian Occasional Table features a curvy hexagon shaped base and three legs with a metal claw accent. 22" diameter x 29" tall. Stain matching and custom sizing are available $425.

Breaking News: Door morphs into table


This table was custom designed for a client with small children and a narrow nook with L shaped built in seating. She had an old door that she wanted to turn into a table, but decided that she didn't really know how to proceed.

The table is significantly cantilevered. The photos are deceiving, but there is very little overhang on the far side of the table. The supporting lumber is all reclaimed fir. The finishing touch will be a piece of 1/4" glass on the top.

I'm proud of this one because two of my vendors--who have seen it all--told me how much they like it. I think this design would make a great desk too, with the addition of a pencil drawer.
