Hello everyone, we are the Matz family! We are true "DIYers" and have a passion for the arts and working with wood (such as live edge slabs, barn wood, and reclaimed wood). We love all of the possibilities that wood has to offer and the fact that it is a piece of history and was once alive is truly amazing! Wicked Grain "officially" started as a business 5 years ago out of our 2 car garage. What started off as a hobby, making smaller items for our homes or for friends and family members, quickly turned into a side business...then a FT business when we started getting tons of referrals and orders from customers across the KC Metro area and the MidWest. In 2012 we were introduced to Etsy through a family friend and decided to give it a try through one simple reclaimed bench posting. Within the first week, we were shocked by the amount of orders and positive support we received from our online customers. We quickly knew that we had something going and that we wanted to push this business to the fullest by incorporating more options, styles, and wood choices to our customers. We surrounded ourselves with a phenomenal team that consists of: a master metal worker, a skilled wood worker, a designer/art major, a teacher, and a marketing expert. We feel that we can tackle almost any challenge and if there is something that we feel is beyond our skill set, then we will be happy to assist you and point you in the right direction. We pride ourselves in making gorgeous-funcitonal works of art that will last a life time. We know that memories are created and formed around tables and pieces of furniture and we are truly honored if you choose our team! We hope we can create something for you today and our motto is " priceless furniture for the everyday customer". You shouldn't have to be a millionaire to own a gorgeous slab or table, so we will work with you to find a piece that fits your budget!

**About the wood we use: The reclaimed wood we use with all of our pieces is all from the good "ole" state of Kansas. We drive hours into the countryside to meet with farmers and good old country boys to get the best deals on authentic 100+ year barnwood, old baseball bleacher wood, lodge siding, and kiln dried hardwoods. All hardwoods are kiln dried to below 6% and any imports such as claro walnut and monkey pod wood are certified and kiln dried too. We are definitely "green" in our approach and use eco-friendly products with all of our shop products and when sealing or treating each and every wood item. Call or email with any specific questions on products. Thank you! -Jacob and Jodi Matz
