Trees are artistically sawn, dried, and designed into aesthetically
pleasing pieces of unique furniture, specializing in tables
-specifically coffee tables, sofa tables, side tables, and dining
tables. The natural beauty of wood is memorialized into a
functional piece of art furniture most often keeping the live edge
or natural edge of the tree intact, which allows striking grain
patterns in the wood to be revealed. Additionally, recycled iron is
creatively incorporated into the support system to display the
one-of-a-kind tops. Many tables also utilize glass shelves so the
top can be left uncluttered, continually displaying the nataural
beauty.
Other services include: Family tree turned into family heirloom
furniture and kiln drying. Custom sawing might focus on small niche
of sawing favorite family tree, after designing potential piece of
furniture from the tree, drying wood, making furniture. Example:
Historic Midway plantation trees had to be removed for sale of
commercial real estate, trees were commemorated into flooring and
furniture from Civil War era trees.
