Beautiful Texas Woods

Hundreds of trees are indigenous to Texas, and almost all are resilient. But I’ve chosen just a few of our beautiful Texas woods as worthy enough to go under my lathe.

We create one-of-a-kind heirloom-worthy pieces out of water oak, post oak, pecan, cedar, and bois d’arc. But mesquite, rich in hue and resistant to warping, may be our personal favorite.

Each piece is unique and unlike the one before, and the best part of creating is the process. Every single finished product begins with a log, or limb respectively. From there it is decided how best to maximize the natural beauty. What follows is a hands on and focused effort to produce something for your home now, and for generations to come.
