On Etsy since 2015
  • Lovely illustrations by Eric Sloane of the tools and techniques used by 18th and 19th century carpenters
  • Wondering where barn wood comes from? Most of these barns were built in the late 19th and early 20th century.
  • Honored to be featured as the August guest artist at VIVA Gallery in Viroqua, WI.
  • Careful disassembly and sorting of what can be salvaged and reused is done by crews of both Amish and English.

He loves to make things!

After about 40 years of making things stand up straight as a modern house carpenter it is a pleasure to work more closely with Nature’s designs. There is a certain romance to working with anything that is more than a century old. Wondering who cut down this tree and worked it by hand to become a barn or cabin. Was it a hot day or was it below zero? Cutting in the winter kept you warm twice and occupied long dark days.

Did everybody have arms like Arnold to swing an axe all day long? The wood I work with was shaped almost exclusively by someone’s hand and eyes, no gasoline, no electricity. I once read a biography of a woodsman who cut trees by himself in the Pacific Northwest around the turn of the (last) century. He could spend a week on a really big one and he was smaller than I.

The pioneers of the upper Midwest based their lives on being able to turn trees into something useful. Hopefully I can do a small justice to their legacy.

Shipping
We almost always ship Fed Ex Domestically in the US, Out of the country each order is a different story.

If you are outside the continental US, email and we will work something out.

We do not have any accommodations for Non-US light sockets or plugs.

Shipping big stuff
If we can use one of the above carriers we will. However some things are just too big and need to go freight. In that case we will make a crate for it and ship with a freight company that is familiar with your area. We will need your phone number so they can call you to arrange the delivery. Unless you have a forklift handy, plan on having help to get it off the truck and in the house. It is the rare truck driver who will be able to help unload past his/her tailgate.

Frequently asked questions
What size is the top?

Console table tops come any length up to 7' long. These are cut right off the logs so the widths vary. Each piece will have a variation of an inch or more in depth. Happy to do Extra wide or Extra narrow, Use the Click the "Ask a Question" box above first for pricing and availability.

Are Longer tables available?

Yes but we should talk about it first. Stock is limited so convo your needs and I will investigate. I can make tables up to 8' 11"long but the shipping cost will be different so please include your zip code when emailing us. Click the "Ask a Question" box above to contact us.

Wholesale availability

Not really. I have a limited number of pieces on consignment at local galleries. I can't really do high volume production. I do work with designers at a trade discount, please convo.

Can I get a taller table?

Yes. As the tables get taller we increase the the structure under the table. We offer several different heavier leg options here:

How much does shipping cost?

To simplify I have tried to include a standard charge of $76 for shipping and handling. Some items just don't conform to this simplification. Click the "Ask a Question" box above and I'll find out for you. I will need your zip or postal code and the size of the item you are inquiring about.

Can I get a rush order?

To be fair to my valued clients, I make these tables in the the order that they are purchased and can't accommodate rush orders. I sometimes have a few tables in stock and ready to ship. Message for availability.
