Reaching for the Light Loveseat. Again, formed from saplings I dig up by hand to preserve the root system which often form beautiful shapes such as this one. And again, by hand peeling the bark,  no sanding or scrapping, I preserve the natural luster of the wood & all its wonderful nuances. I can make a one of a kind loveseat for you using the same techniques, any size you want! By the way, I took this picture right behind my shop. Yes, I am a blessed man!!

Northwest Table. This particular table is made from cedar with the bark left on. We use 20 varieties of saplings for  tables. The above is a sofa table - tall, long & thin - I've been making alot of these lately. The twig work at the bottom with the river rock nestled in them,  reminds me of wild rivers where sticks & stones pile up along the bends. We make tables any size - just let us know the dimensions of yours and we'll make it fit. Sanded & finished wood top or glass.

Another Reaching for the Light Loveseat.  When I dig up these unusual trees,  they are usually so contorted that they will not reach maturity,   and we give them a continued life of beauty, strength and dignity in your home.  I call these Reaching for the Light pieces because despite getting knocked down by another tree, or in a stream bank, they continue to struggle upward. I like to think we are all struggling upward. Again, we can make one fit your spot.

Mother Nature's Throne. This is the vine maple, mossy, really wild, 14 foot version. This is a piece of furniture guaranteed to make anyone smile, well, almost anyone. It is a big hit at art shows where people line up to have their picture taken in it. Most of the time these end up outside, but on occasion, they  have made a very dramatic statement in a dining or living room. This one is 14'h x 27"d x 32"w, but we can make it shorter (or Taller) and also a double wide loveseat.

Bentwood Rocking Chairs. This is a good view of all the details and cross bracing we put into our furniture. This not only adds visual appeal but makes the chair stronger. We use naturally curved pieces on the bottoms of our rockers and finding two exactly the same is an elusive task, but worth the time. The above has contrasting peeled & unpeeled wood, but we often make them from one variety of sapling with the bark left on.

Aldered State Chair. We also call this the Standard Chair as it is your prototype bentwood piece. Notice the twiggy pieces that form the back and the branches that we weave around the back.  We do a loveseat version of this piece. We can also make it without the woven branches . Again, notice the details of the side & front - always looking for unusual pieces to  give the chair character and make it unique. This is one of our best selling pieces.

Mother Nature's Throne . This version of the throne is not as tall or as wild as the previous vine throne. Usually about 8 feet tall so that it will fit into most homes or front porches. Notice that the arms are flowing bentwood type instead of "captain's arms". We can also do a loveseat   throne. We can use several different woods for this chair, but most often use alder. The above chair is 8'h x 32"w x 26"d.  Most years, this has been our best seller. Alder turns a golden brown.
