After harvesting fir and cedar off my land, the logs are peeled, leaving a thin layer of inner bark, then allowed to dry. Often a single cutting of wood will be the inspiration for the style of a bench or chair.
It is a journey that is truly a product of both the wood and the
imagination of the builder. Each piece of wood becomes a compliment to the others around it and to the finished design.
A coat of oil is applied, allowed to dry, sanded and a coat of urethane
added to provide more protection. As your rustic furniture ages and the
inevitable nicks, dents, and scratches accumulate, an heirloom emerges as a reminder of our unique rustic American heritage.
My furniture is meant to be enjoyed in your home or covered porch.
