Our custom lodgepole and aspen furniture is made in Wyoming by the finest craftsmen. Lodgepole pine and aspen are found in abundance around the State. In certain stands of timber, a virus will infect the cambium layer of wood causing the cells to distort. This forms a gall or large growth. This "burl" is highly desirable to furniture makers and was made famous by Thomas Molesworth, a Wyoming craftsmen, many years ago. Wildlife will also damage trees by chewing or rubbing their horns against the bark causing scars which creates unusual imperfections in the wood.
Only standing dead timber is used in creating our furniture. This assists in preventing warping or cracking. A wax finish is hand rubbed into each piece creating a long lasting finish that is resistant to moisture and scratching. Our craftsmen can create any type of furniture you desire. Handles or other details can be fashioned from deer or elk horn or other types of wood such as cedar. We use rawhide, leather and cowhide to accent certain pieces of furniture.
