Hand Forged Custom Furniture

in , ,

Kyle is trained as both a blacksmith and a furniture designer, so it might not surprise you that his favorite projects incorporate both his areas of interest. Here are a few pieces of custom furniture he designed and created over the last few months.

First up is a forged bench base with a cherry seat. Kyle designed this bench to fit comfortably in an entryway or foyer. The original has sold but we're happy to create a custom one similar or just like this for you.

Kyle designed and forged these custom table bases for local woodworker Mark Rickey. It’s always a fun project when we get to work with another talented maker.

While building their East Coast brewery here in Richmond, the fine folks at Stone Brewing Co. - Richmond approached us about creating some custom furniture for the tasting room. Take a peek into the process behind the custom tables and fixtures we created for them.

Custom tables ready for delivery! Reclaimed wood tops created by  Van Jester Woodworks.

And now for our favorite part! The two top photos here show Kyle's assistant, Kallen, forging strap hinges for the tour door at the brewery. In the bottom photos, Kyle is forging gargoyle horn handles designed after Stone Brewery's logo for the door.

There it is! Our hand-forged hardware installed on the tour door made by Van Jester Woodwoorks.

Hope you get a chance to stop by Stone for a brew. And if you do, let us know what you think of the tables and tour door!

Made in RVA: Handmade Furniture & Lighting Show & Sale

in , ,

Next month we're excited to be participating in a show of handcrafted furniture created by 15 local artisans. The show is hosted by the folks at LaDiff  who have gone above and beyond helping to organize and promote this show. We're honored this local institution of modern design believes in and supports the Richmond maker community.

We've created a set of three custom tables especially for this show, a console table and two end tables. These tables have forged steel bases and reclaimed heart pine tops, each with glass mosaic inlay. They bring clean, modern lines together with the timeless feeling of handmade work. Check out the work-in-progress photos below!
