Creating
New Life from Salvaged Old Growth Timbers
Wood Merchant sponsored by STIHL |
|
The Wood Merchant specializes in creating custom one-of-a-kind furnishings from salvaged timbers. Many of these timbers are considered to be “old-growth”, 150 years and older, with diameters of 5 feet and larger. The
rapid growth of commercial developments, housing and new roads in the area
have led to the demise of many trees that are rich in history.
These trees would not be considered “prime” due to the scars
left by a life time of lightening, ice storms, wind, forest fires, floods
and droughts, as well as, other perils that have taken the lives of many
weaker trees. Over
the past 18 years the Wood Merchant has been saving these historically
rich trees and giving them “new life” in the form of custom
furnishings including coffee tables, end tables, desks, dining tables,
bars, bistro tables, beds, dressers, entertainment centers, armoires,
church furnishings, architectural accents and a variety of decorative
accents and accessories. We take
what “Mother Nature” gives us and make it into something beautiful and
functional for the home or office. We
are at the whim of “Mother Nature” for what we create.
She is mostly responsible for the results.
Many of these old trees can still tell stories. If you wish to visit the Wood Merchant Design Studio an appointment is highly recommended. The Design Studio is located at the intersection of Highway 86 West and Highway 13 South just South of Lampe, Missouri. For an appointment please call (417) 779-5324 or send us an e-mail at woodmerchant@wood-merchant.com.
