Handcrafted, Heritage-Inspired Furniture That Tells a Story

Every piece we build is a tribute to America’s earliest craftsmanship traditions. Constructed by hand using centuries-old joinery techniques — without nails, screws, or mechanical fasteners — our furniture blends Early American rustic charm with refined artistry. We use only reclaimed pine, sourced from historic barns and mills, to create furniture that feels authentic, enduring, and truly one of a kind.

What Defines Our Style

Early American Rustic Furniture

​

Our style draws heavily from the colonial furniture built by early settlers — simple, practical, and solidly made. But we pair that utilitarian spirit with refined proportions and timeless character. Expect tapered legs, framed panels, and visible joinery that celebrates the beauty of handcrafted work.

​

18th Century Reproduction Furniture

​

These aren’t replicas — they’re modern heirlooms inspired by the 1700s. Our 18th Century Reproduction pieces are built using traditional techniques, including mortise-and-tenon joinery and hand-fit doors, to capture the integrity and presence of original period furniture.

​

Heritage Farmhouse Furniture

​

With roots in farmhouse practicality, our furniture offers the warmth and simplicity of old-world living. But unlike mass-produced versions, every surface is hand-planed and individually selected to highlight the character of reclaimed barnwood. It’s farmhouse style with real substance.

​

Reclaimed Barnwood Furniture

​

All of our furniture is made from reclaimed pine salvaged from old barns, mills, and warehouses. This aged wood carries natural knots, nail holes, saw marks, and grain variation that no modern lumber can match. We preserve those features to let the wood’s history shine through.

How It's Built

We don’t cut corners — we cut mortises, tenons, and dovetails. Our furniture is built the way it was in the 18th century: using interlocking joinery that requires no nails or screws. These time-honored techniques create stronger, longer-lasting pieces that age gracefully over generations.

​

Each board of reclaimed pine is carefully planed to enhance the natural grain while retaining subtle waves, knots, and cracks. Where necessary, cracks are stabilized with specialty glues — not hidden. This keeps the rustic authenticity intact while ensuring structural integrity.

​

No mass production. No CNC machines. Every item is built in our Indiana workshop by the studio’s founder, one piece at a time.
