My Story

"The Giving Tree"

In 2021, my family had to cut down a tree in our backyard that had stood there since before I was born. I grew up climbing its branches, hiding behind it during games of hide-and-seek, and watching squirrels race through its limbs. It had quietly been part of so many memories throughout my childhood.

When it came down, I couldn't bring myself to see it become firewood. I wanted to give it a different ending — or maybe a second beginning. I wanted to preserve a piece of it and turn it into something that could continue living with us for years to come.

That experience changed the way I looked at wood. Since then, I've found myself drawn to pieces that have been sitting and waiting for a second life. Whether it's a fallen tree, reclaimed wood, or materials tied to meaningful moments, I love transforming them into something that carries both beauty and a story.

For me, woodworking isn't just about making furniture. It's about preserving memories and creating pieces that become part of new ones.

Philosophy

where wood becomes art

Unique
Imperfect
Stimulating

No two pieces should be the same. Actively taking a step back from over consumption and creating one-of-a kind tables.

Nothing is ever perfect, even more reason to highlight it. We follow the imperfections of the wood and design around it to best compliment it

We want to spark creativity and conversation through the pieces that we make. The closer you look at these pieces, the more you see.

Your Giving Tree

Did you have to cut down a tree from your yard?

Do you have logs sitting around and not sure what to do with them?

This is the next step in the "Giving Tree Project". If you have a piece that means something to you and want to turn it into an heirloom, it's possible. Depending on how the wood was stored, we can use your own sourced wood to create a special piece for your home. Just because the trunk is gone doesn't mean it all has to be forgotten.

If this is a route you're interested in pursuing, please specify in the contact form for further information.
