Rustic Wood Shelf - For Sale

I guess its a good sign when you always like the things that you make :)  The top of this shelf is a solid 1 inch thick with the outside dimensions 10 x 26 inches.  I have made some shelves similar to this one but the thing that makes this one stand out from the others are the brackets.  The brackets for this shelf were made from the branches of a sycamore tree.  Sycamore branches have a sweet curl and twist to them that makes this piece so unique.  This shelf was so beautiful by itself so I didn't tamper with it too much. To add to its rustic feel I took a torch to all the edges to give it a little singe, it added just the perfect touch.  And playing with fire is always fun.  I've never told a shelf that it was beautiful before but if I did I'm pretty sure it would be this one, smile. 

This shelf is for sale and can be seen on our new ETSY store.  Be sure to check it out on Etsy and browse all of the other masterpieces.  

One Of A Kind Bench - For Sale

I absolutely love this bench.  I was looking for some wood for another job and stumbled across this beauty piece.  As soon as I saw it I wanted to make a bench out of it.  It is so fun how you can take something broken and not nice and turn it into something beautiful.  This bench is made out of a solid piece of wood that was broken on the one side when I found it.  The broken side was given a good sand until all the pointy ends were no longer sharp.  The one leg of the bench is made from old steel from a horses stable in a barn.  The steel was cut to size and bent to shape, it was then given a couple coats of flat black paint.  The whole bench got a couple good coats of varnish.  The fun thing about this bench is that both sides of the bench are so different and yet the same.  One side has smooth clean lines and the other has a rough rustic feel.  No matter how you look at it, or what your style, you can't help but appreciate this piece.

One Of A Kind.
