No. 001 — The Cross

It’s No. 001 for a reason.

A hefty paperweight, a coffee table conversation piece, occasional decor; it looks great on the wall. If you come up with another application, send us pictures.

Just finished a run of them and they’re ready to ship. Stop by the site to order in time for Christmas or to ask questions.

No. 470 - The Rustic Hunt Stool

It’s named for one of our favorite Country singers, Sam Hunt, whose wife Hannah asked us to make the first three for their new home.

If you’re curious how we get the legs to stay in place permanently, drop us a line; we’ll be glad to elaborate.

Otherwise, let us know what we can make for you.

No. 470 — The Rustic Hunt Stool

Named for one of our favorite Country singers, whose wife commissioned the first three, and not because they’re made to take on you next deer hunt… although we do suppose you could.

The top is built like a hard maple butcher block, so you actually could use them as a cutting board… just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

It’s amazing to see what can happen when you start asking questions. From concept through design to finished project, a lot of smart minds contributed to this project.

Christina at did the interior design, and asked “do you think you can make a ladder that looks like a tree?”

Then we asked Bob at “can you forge branches that will bear weight?”

To went the query “Tad, can you cut down a tree and slab it so we can dry it and make steps?

From there, it was into the shop, wondering “how do we put this all together?”

We loved the challenge as much as we love the result.

Also want to thank:

- for making the Millermatic 220, an amazing machine

- for the welder, always stocking everything we need, generally being cool, and having the best voicemail message

- — Hybrid Wood Protector is an incredible finish

- for being the great resource and steward of the local woodworking community that you are

Putting on the finishing touches, getting ready to install this stair ladder for an AirBnB cabin in Leipers Fork.

The structure is steel, with branches made by the immensely talented Bob Parks (not the Realtor) at Franklin Forge at the Factory, and live edge American elm steps, finished with Rubio Monocoat’s Hybrid Wood Protector. All of the metal is rusted in-house with our shop-made chemical patina solution, and it’ll be clearcoated prior to installation.
