About TTW

I design heirloom-quality, sustainably sourced, handcrafted wood furniture using traditional joinery. Every log and board is riven and shaped by hand to craft the parts for my designs.

Furniture is meant to be lived with - functional art crafted to be integrated into the story of one’s home. Wood is not some inanimate object to simply be. The material is meant to be regarded as something alive and breathing. It is the job of the craftsman to move in concert with the tree.

I love to work with all types of wood but I really try to use as many sustainable and reclaimed forms as possible. My furniture draws inspiration from Scandinavian, Japanese, and Welsh traditions. I use traditional handtool woodworking to shape my pieces. I leave a hand tooled surface that is felt as you experience the piece. I believe that it’s important to leave fingerprints and give a soul to a mundane inanimate piece of furniture.

Let’s be honest, though. I’ll craft whatever vision you manifest. You show me your Pinterest board and I’ll bring that piece to life for you. My greatest passion is bringing a piece of functional art to life that will be with you for a lifetime. 

Alright. Time to get sappy, so strap in.

We go through these beautiful seasons as a culture - seasons of memory followed by ignoring them. We look forward to the future of innovation and the ‘next thing’ as if novelty somehow automatically equates to quality. Obviously, there are beautiful and amazing times when something new has driven us headfirst into greatness. It wasn’t just for the sake of that dive. 

It may be old-fashioned, it may be cheaper or faster somewhere else, but stories matter, and those who tell the story matter. That’s what happens when you buy something handmade. You are joining that story. You are letting that storyteller become however small a part of your story, and for years to come to affect some small piece of your life.

So if you’re still reading this because you're my mother or just in an endless boredom scroll on your phone, join the story.
