From rough lumber to living history.
This custom herringbone feature wall and solid wood mantle were built from alder — cut, planed, then finished to perfectly complement the client’s existing cabinetry and backsplash design.
The live-edge spalted alder shelf supports over 250 lbs and features an antique coat rack that sat in storage for more than 20 years before finding its home here.
And while working on this space, I uncovered a tombstone from the 1800s — belonging to the first landowners of what is now Canyon Lake, including the land my family’s home sits on.
Craftsmanship with a story.
Built to last. Built with intention.
