Owner, Designer and Craftsman for Original Relics LLC. Original Relics is a family owned business founded on the belief that furniture should last a lifetime with style that is timeless. Using primarily reclaimed woods, new woods, natural materials and original designs, our craftsman can re-make your original relic pieces or create new features through the custom design process. Our specialties: custom farmhouse tables, coffee tables and headboards are each unique as wood species, age and grains vary. Custom table dimensions are limited to readily available material stock. Client owned materials will be considered when they are appropriate to the project. Legacy projects from barn siding, reclaimed lumber and harvested hardwood trees are our specialty, however, pricing will reflect the need for kiln drying, milling and shipping. Lead time on custom pieces will vary and can be discussed as designs are finalized.Visit us at;www.facebook.com/originalrelics/www.originalrelics.com
