5 out of 5 starsThis is the second gate ordered from Jeff and Patty. Love the careful construction, beautiful design and weathered wood elements in both. Entire Etsy transaction was delightful from start to finish. Hope to be back again because, in the main, the artistry is terrific.

5 out of 5 starsThe gate was beautiful -- so creatively and artistically constructed. It utilized the natural branches so deftly that there was no visible evidence of any fasteners. My experience working with the Grants was excellent, from their responsiveness to questions, to followup, to followthrough and general helpfulness. Overall, this was one of my most enjoyable and satisfying transaction ever. A small business that is truly customer-focused! A++

Boys and Sticks
All boys like to play with sticks - some of them grow out of it, and some don't. Jeff didn't. He loves to collect sticks and then see how they fit together to make stickwork furniture. Each piece is truly one of a kind.
We also care how the furniture is made. Not interested in the manufacturing-style process, we endeavor to make sure that each piece is created using as few power tools as is possible, which in turn means that every piece is unique and one-of-a-kind. Pieces may be similar, but no two will ever be identical.
The design of many pieces starts with a unique design element or the discovery of a quirky log, branch or tree root. While the idea for a piece may come as a full picture, the reality is always dictated by the twists and turns of the available materials.

Jeff Grant
Owner, Maker, Designer
After over 30 years as a carpenter, Jeff discovered a new interest in building furniture. He learned how to hand-hew logs then refine them using a draw knife and hand planes. It's been enjoyable to have a much quieter atmosphere.

Patty is the computer geek of the team - if it is going to be on the web, it's her domain. She also gets to be the seat-tester for the chairs and loveseats.
