At Woods, we combine time-honored woodworking techniques with modern innovations to create furniture that’s both durable and visually stunning. Our artisans work with reclaimed wood—a material that requires a keen eye and a deep respect for its natural characteristics. Unlike mass-produced furniture that uses uniform materials, reclaimed wood is full of surprises. No two planks are alike, and each brings its own set of challenges and opportunities. Our artisans approach each piece of wood as a unique canvas, carefully considering how its grain, texture, and imperfections can best be showcased.

The process is labor-intensive and requires a high level of skill. Our artisans begin by selecting the best pieces of reclaimed wood and preparing them for use. This includes cleaning, treating, and cutting the wood to size. Traditional joinery methods, such as mortise and tenon or dovetail joints, are employed to ensure maximum strength and durability. These techniques, which have been used for centuries, are not only more environmentally friendly than modern alternatives but also create a stronger, longer-lasting product. Once the piece is assembled, it’s sanded and finished by hand, ensuring that every detail is perfect before it leaves our workshop.
