Announcement    The Rusted Nail began reclaiming and crafting in the fall of 2010. What began in the family shed has now grown into a more suitable shop with even more room to grow. Since the beginning Jeffrey Burke has used his skills and experience in Architecture to design and build each project that has become the centerpiece of every space they reside in.
​
Even though the company has grown The Rusted Nail remains a family orientated business. Cindy Riley (mother) is acting fire starter/motivator; Bill Riley (Step Father) is head of maintenance and repairs, while Stephen Burke (Brother) has transitioned from apprentice to marketing consultant.
The Rusted Nail creates unique, one of kind furniture and home accents using material salvaged from barns that have past their prime. Materials taken from barns are unlike any other object. The wood and hardware of a barn have been distinctively aged by time, weather and the rigors of a functioning barn. All the recovered barns once stood on southern farms large and small, busy and quaint. While most farmers will allow their old barns to waste away with time, The Rusted Nail provides the option of giving the barns a new life. Just like the rusted nails that are pulled from the salvaged boards each piece created in the shop is unique in its own way.
The top priority of all designs is functionality followed closely by simplistic beauty. Rusted nail also combines the new with the old. Styles that are modern and classic, along with materials that are old and new are merged to create a unique creation.
