For new wood construction, all our wood is pressure treated to remove infestation. Subsequently, to prevent warping it is seasoned, using the kiln dry process to lower the moisture content to 7% – 8%. However, in the old pieces, we make every effort to restore the item without compromising the integrity of the furniture.}

In some instances, there is a marriage between old and new, hence we refer to these items as re-purposed. However, we realize that the quality of construction and craftsmanship defines the appeal of each furniture piece. The wood joinery and finishing techniques used reveal the long lasting durability of our furniture. Tongue and groove and mortise and tenon joinery are used extensively. Wood is then stained, sealed and a protection coat is applied to the finished piece. No item is passed until it goes through a detailed inspection.

Our product is rustic and hand finished. The old pieces are hand crafted by artisans who have had the craft passed on since generations and this renders each piece as a unique, one of a kind treasure. Whereas, the new pieces will have a consistent overall look, but because these are hand finished, there will be some variance. Wood grain, texture and tones will vary from piece to piece due to the nature of the wood and its hand finished processing. The look will be similar, without being identical, which gives it that “one-of-a-kind” distinction.

Natural cracks within the wood, knots, indentations and other superficial imperfections, all constitute natural distress. Since our furniture is hand made, there are elements of that process of construction (such as filled nail holes etc.) which are visible, upon close inspection. That blends in with the look of our furniture and adds to the rustic charm.

Yes, we do. We will work with you to create what you have in mind or reproduce from a picture or drawing. This process is time consuming and will need a lead time of several weeks. Customers who have gone this route have expressed extreme satisfaction due to the exclusivity of designs.
