Hand made, bench built english walnut stool from sustainably harvested Appalachian hardwood. The wood for this board came from a tree in western Maryland where English Walnut is rare. The tree was damaged in a storm by lightning, and the salvageable … material was saved and cared for. I believe that a second life has been given to the tree by creating a beautiful, and functional object that will be the center of conversation for years to come.

The Naturalist stool-

The front edge of the bench maintains the natural edge of the trees shape after the bark is carefully removed and the edge is sanded smooth. Second the triangular shape cuts down on the overuse of materials if we use 13" wide flitch cut boards (natural edge on both sides) and alternate our pattern from one edge to the other. Last but not least the material we use for these stools are either salvaged or sustainably harvested, and our finish is plant based. With their rustic/modern California contemporary look they fit just about anywhere.

Our refinement process.

-Every piece is hand signed by me with our Appalachian Joinery logo. Our logo stands for our process, a process which is putting the environment first by using only sustainably harvested hardwoods, using finishes that are natural to the earth and food safe, and we work in a pre-existing shop instead of building a new shop. We use our small scraps to heat our shop in the winter and the ashes are saved to spread in our garden come spring. We believe everything eventually comes full cycle and with our process we become a part of it.
