This is undoubtedly the most meaningful project we have ever completed. A little over 2 years ago this wonderful family called me and said they desperately needed help. The 250 year old maple tree in their front yard was dying and had to be taken down. They had seen my work at a local craft show and wanted to see if I could salvage any usable lumber. 3 days later my sawyer and I hauled away 12 logs and milled up almost 100 pieces of recycled goodness. 27 months later, and here are two of those slabs. This tree had a lot of meaning to this family and seeing their reaction was an incredibly rewarding experience. It was also a great reminder of the purpose for this business. We kept thousands of pounds of nature out of the landfill and we can now create pieces for years to come from this tree.

Two salvaged black walnut slabs with a 12" blackened steel center piece surrounded by 6 custom made walnut dining chairs.  This client and I worked together for over 6 months designing, building, and finishing this piece exact to her specifications.

Named after one of many latin words for 'beginning' this table is kind of what started it all. Our very first original and unique piece of furniture is also one of our favorite to make. This design uniquely blends our metal fabrication background with our passion for custom woodworking. This piece is made with recycled white oak and scrap steel square tubing. (photo - ryan dearth)

This massive juniper tree was killed in a forest fire in eastern Arizona. I picked it up a couple years ago and finally created this base after learning about George Nakashima and his very unique and beautiful woodworking. Photo - Ryan Dearth

This urban salvaged walnut piece was saved from a local Denver tree taken down for safety issues. 60" long, 30" tall, and average depth of 12". This piece is sold but custom sofa tables are some of my favorites pieces to build. 

Three hand picked colorado beetle kill slabs where milled and matched up to create this unique and beautiful table top. The bench was also made with two pieces of locally sourced beetle kill. Both sit atop custom fabricated steel frames. This wood was sourced from trees killed in the Black Forest fires outside of Colorado Springs.

This custom desk was created with re-purposed 3/4" steel framing and a beetle kill top, drawer, and shelves. 

48" wide, 30" tall, 20" deep.

We designed and built this bed frame and headboard for ourselves! I had been sleeping on the floor for too long and put this design together. The headboard is made with locally reclaimed walnut along with the matching nightstand. Frame is built with 2"x1" square tubing and the support slats are made with beetle kill pine 4x1s.

This unique chair is made with reclaimed wood and a "wrapped" 1.5" square metal tubing frame structure that creates a floating look. Both pieces are made with reclaimed hardwoods from a local Denver, CO business. Photo - Tom Tallant

The lighter color beetle kill and recycled steel brighten the tone in this entertainment room. 

Shortened from 'adirondack' this is our take on the quite popular outdoor chair. Created with reclaimed brazilian hardwood -ipe, this industrial and quite comfortable chair would fit into any lounge or outdoor area. Photo - Tom Tallant

Not only is the maple reclaimed, but so is the glass! this piece of glass was found next to a dumpster and re-purposed (and cleaned) as the top of this unique coffee table.

Truly a unique seating surface, this reclaimed honey locust burl slab was given simple legs to focus the attention on the beautiful grain pattern. Photo - Tom Tallant

This book-matched beetle kill end table was donated to Conservation Colorado for the Rebel with a Cause Event. The book-matched look is created by adjoining two matching grain patterns to obtain a unique and mirrored appearance. 

Two uniquely different cherry shelving units come together nicely in this office.

This live edge beetle kill bench utlizes the same slab for the entirety of the bench. Each leg is cut and mitered so the bench appears to have a 'wrapped' image and the grain pattern continues around the entire piece.

Colorado sourced beetle kill pine marries nicely to a recycled steel inlay for this entry bench. Can also be custom sized as a dining room bench.
