Heirloom Furnishings from Reclaimed Lumber

For anyone with a desire for handcrafted furniture and a passion for green living will fall in love Whit McLeod. His career began "on the other side of the bark" as a wildlife biologist and his abiding reverence for the natural world is reflected in his award-winning line of Arts and Crafts furniture. Heirloom furnishings with a twist, reclaimed lumber from oak wine barrels and Douglas Fir rescued from industrial waste are handcrafted into furniture fit for Gustav Stickley, Frank Lloyd Wright and William Morris enthusiasts everywhere.
That spirit of preservation informs his manufacturing process, from relying on vintage machinery that McLeod has retooled himself to scouring scrap yards for copper to be melted down in his foundry for tiles used in tabletops. Accordingly, every facet of his work is done in-house — unheard of in this present day and age.
From tables and chairs to flooring and sculptural metals, Whit McLeod captures the true essence of sustainability in his heirloom quality furnishings. This is a good as it gets!
