Trash or treasure?
For a few dollars in a nice piece of walnut and an hour or so of elbow grease and we say treasure! These end tables had great bones—they just needed a quick refresh. Now, they bring a warm, organic feel to Read Health Chiropractic Center in Ames!

Why we say YES to this work? Because there is a beautiful lesson in leaning away from “fixing” the character of wood and instead embracing it. We often hesitate to call this a “profession” because the real work isn’t just building—it’s finding the beauty within. That process feels like home to us.
What can we build for you?

Every project feels personal to us, and we’re doing our best to hold tight to that feeling.
There is something profoundly beautiful about the process: taking a tree, milling it into wood, and shaping it into a piece that eventually finds a permanent home in yours. It’s more than just woodworking; it’s a transition that brings something special to your home.
We don't just see wood—we see a legacy in the making.

There's beauty in the everyday tasks and this handcrafted oak shelf, with its raw live edge and deep, rich character, is a true labor of love. It's a daily reminder that even the most ordinary tasks like laundry can be beautiful.
Laundry day feels just a little warmer and more personal now. How can we add a touch of warmth and character to your home?

We see our work as a privilege. It’s found in the long hours of sanding and the lessons learned through mistakes. It’s about “living in the process” as we’re one step closer to the work we’re called to.
We try to stay out of the way. We soften the edges so your hands can appreciate true tree material, and we smooth the roughness to reveal the natural patterns unique to that single tree. We spend time contemplating how to do less, because we want you to see the history in the wood. We want you to feel the storms it weathered and the seasons it grew through.
Whether it shaded a backyard and held a childhood swing or stood by the river and held ground as the water rolled by, that tree had a life. Our job is to make sure that story doesn’t end at our workbench.
What will we build for you?

My right hand is my needle hand. One big take away while building with this gnarly oak was simple, use my left hand to check for splinters so my right hand was free to dig them out.
Time and experience is the best teacher and these custom floating shelves were worth it all. Thank you to Sheppardbrackets for building a product that can stand up to the weight of these beauties, we appreciate your product and support. And we can hardly wait to see how
goldenaura.alchemy makes them even more beautiful in her dreamy space!
