Handcrafted burl wood & epoxy resin river tables

Living in one of the world's most ecologically diverse areas for trees, we have some of the most beautiful trees in the world to choose from and we specialize in handcrafted burl wood furniture.

“Great art picks up where nature ends.”

Environmentally-sourced local trees

From tree to table

We breathe new life into trees that would have otherwise been discarded, creating from them timeless works of functional art.   Slabs for each project are carefully selected, and the project is designed to accentuate the natural character that the wood has to offer.

Made-to-order functional art

With an artist’s eye and 30+ years’ skill as a woodworker, we preserve the intricate, unmatched grain and beauty while accenting it with the versatile artistry of epoxy resin, turning knots and voids into stunning design elements.
“Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.”
— Marcus Tullius Cicero

Every piece tells a story, and every story starts with a magnificent native tree!

    Monster Burls!

    Burl slabs of this size and quality are extremely rare, but we have several of them! These are 11’ L x up to 48” W and come from our ‘BLT- Burl Lake Toxaway’ tree.

    "BLT": Burl Lake Toxaway

    This enormous burl tree was growing on the shore of Lake Toxaway until tropical Storm Fred took it down in August of 2021. The character in this tree is unbelievable. We have built several masterpieces from it, and have enough for many more.

    The Dumbell

    This oak log had two giant burls on it that made it look like a huge dumbell. The slices from it have a unique filigree pattern.
