Sawdust and Splinters
Welcome to our small family owned business in DFW Texas.
It all began with my wife, Ciara, restoring furniture she found for her mom, grandmother, or our house. A few years into our marriage we were looking for bedroom furniture, and I was appalled at the prices! Naturally and without hesitation, I stated to Ciara “I could make it cheaper and better quality!”
A few LONG weeks later, lots of trial and error, NOT measuring twice and cutting once, and countless hours of work I was able to create a headboard she imagined with help of her Pinterest boards and sketches. Months later, out of need for more storage and a more finished bedframe look, I built a beautiful matching Oak Blanket Chest to have at the foot of the bed that was functional and sturdy enough to act as a bench.
During the building process of our bedframe, I was able to include our daughter in some of stages of building. From teaching our daughter how to use a hammer and stain, I have found so much joy from seeing the smile and hearing her laughter when she gets to help build. I loved seeing my wife light up when she sees a finished product she dreamed up. I enjoy the process of taking the ideas my wife has provided after speaking with our clients and drawing up custom pieces, choosing the best species of wood, and creating a piece of furniture that will tell who you are without saying a word.
Together, my wife and I bring to your home a piece of furniture that is designed with you in mind that will add a unique touch to your home. With my wife’s creative designs and eye for attention to detail and functionality, paired with my ability to bring those ideas to life, we are able to build furniture that will stand the test of time.
