The price for this one is $2,862.

Fresh on the floor this week is the Robin's Perch in Cherry. This little bench is so versatile you can put it almost anywhere.  It works well behind sofas, in small foyers, or at the dining table when additional seating is needed. The two boards on the top are slightly tapered towards the middle which makes the bench both beautiful and very comfortable. The Robin's Perch is available in two lengths 36" and 48". Shown below in Cherry the 36" Robin's Perch is $565 and is 14" deep and 17"h. See more images of the Robin's Perch click here.

Fresh on the floor this week is one of the most unique Studio Dining Tables we've seen - it features very sappy Western Walnut. This piece is a show stopper and should be the focal point of any room.

Thank you to the firm Roman and Williams for providing us with such a feast for our eyes. This 2,000 square foot residence in Montauk, New York is a great example of how white walls and understated furnishings create the perfect backdrop for eclectic collections.

This modest 1,880 square foot home located in Bovina, NY has captured our hearts. Not only is it simply beautiful but architect Kimberly Peck designed the home with budget and energy efficiency in mind. The house was carefully sited to take advantage of the amazing views but windows were used sparingly to reduce heat loss in the extreme winters.

The Fir Beam Table with Cutout is fresh on the showroom floor this week. Made from reclaimed Fir beams salvaged from old barns acros the NW, the Firm Beam Table with Cutout works perfectly as a small end table or nightstand.  The table is 14"w x 14"d x 20"h and costs $895.

After many months of collecting scrap wood and a record setting number of votes the overall winner of the Scrap Contest this year is the Timberline Entry Table. This entry table received the highest number of votes in all three categories. The race was really close though. Congratulations to our builder Thomas Dunn, shown below, who designed and built one of the largest scrap contest entries to date made from locally harvest Western Walnut scrap.
