Hand Carved Custom Early American Fireplace Bellow

Viking or wood spirit face bellow(View larger picture)Fireplace Bellows - A set of three classic bellows (shown above) are simple in design, and fully functional with aged custom fit leather. We offer leather in just about any color.

Paul Revere is credited with the style of bellows common in every colonial home; bellows were a very useful tool for getting a smoldering or banked fire back to flames.

Bellows extend with the imagination, they fit original personalities and themes for a fireplace in any room. This Viking or wood spirit face bellows is a reproduction of a family heirloom bellows passed down through the generations of our client's family. The piece includes a full face carving on the front side of the bellows, aged leather, brass tacks, and a custom made snake tip.

This piece shows an example of how combinations of trades applies to a variety of product options. If you have a bellows you like, we'd be happy to take a look and see if we can match it or we offer our own original designs both decorated, carved, or stenciled.

Custom solid oak cane display rack

Custom Oak Cane Rack

You never really see cane racks anymore, yet there was a time when they were a feature of every restaurant, club, bar, parlor, office ... anywhere gentleman would gather.

The cane rack went out of fashion with the cane ... which makes sense why have a place to put something nobody needs to keep anywhere? The fact is though, these grid style racks are great for displaying collections of canes, they can be configured for fishing poles, guns, golf clubs maybe? Anything that is long and thin could be stored in a rack.

If you're a cane collector, or walking stick fanatic be sure to also check our spin-off website www.customwalkingsticks.com for an extensive variety of custom personalized canes, walking sticks, and hiking staffs.

Custom OSB & Cherry Wine RacksCustom OSB & Cherry Wine RackCustom OSB & Cherry Wine Rack - Under Construction

Custom OSB Wine Racks - This project was unique in that it utilized a colored flake OSB as the primary material. The project was commissioned by a company that manufactures this product, and these pieces were offered to retiring board members. Artisans doesn't normally work in OSB, but we took this on for fun to see what we could do. The combination of solid cherry and the stand board actually turned up to create an interesting contrast and a rather stable wine rack!
