Each piece we make is part of a larger narrative—one where sustainability and beauty go hand in hand. Our workshop, our materials, even the way we handle sawdust all reflect a simple belief: the things we create should honor both the people who live with them and the environment they come from.

• Net-zero workshop – powered by solar panels and an advanced heat pump system, offsetting all our energy use

• Sawdust recycled – given to local farmers for compost, gardens, and walking paths

• No plywood, no toxins – built only with solid wood, avoiding formaldehyde and harmful chemicals

• Natural finishes – nontoxic oils highlight and protect the wood (with stronger sealers only when needed)

• Every scrap repurposed – larger offcuts become stools and boards; smaller ones fuel our wood stove, keeping the shop warm through the winter

• Rooted in place – partnering with nearby sawyers and kilns to give salvaged trees a second life

• Local trees, lasting impact – by using salvaged wood from nearby properties, we give “waste” trees new purpose, store more carbon, and cut fossil fuels by reducing long-distance transport

Every choice tells a story

Stewards of the land

Our 10-acre workshop site holds fields, forests, and ponds, but one of its most meaningful transformations is the former chicken coop lot. When Ashira first began tending it, the land was stripped of soil and lifeless from years of commercial use. Over the past six years, it has been restored into a meadow and fruit tree orchard—now alive with wildflowers, pollinators, and rich biodiversity. Monarch butterflies return each year to the milkweed we’ve nurtured, a living reminder that our work is not only about making furniture, but about caring for the land and ecosystems that sustain us.
