We are the Messers, 

Gregg and Michelle

Gregg:

“I built my first serious functional art piece at the tender age of 16 – an electric guitar fashioned from a re-purposed chunk of old fir. Throughout my career in software development, I pursued my passions of woodworking (and music) on the side. My wife, Michelle, casually suggested I try my hand at making a live-edge table. The first prototype prompted a family friend to request two for her home, and by the power of word of mouth, our business was born. At the center of everything we do is a love of showcasing the beauty of wood. My passion is great furniture designs executed with repurposed, rescued wood to create my art,” 

Michelle:  

“I began designing and creating with wood during my college classes - even as a fashion merchandising major, woodworking was a part of my degree. I’m also a painter, and my love of color and texture is what inspired me to create our wall hanging pieces. With our focus on fallen and reclaimed wood, I wanted to find a way to reuse some of the scraps from our projects while incorporating other art and textures: the result is pieces that make wood into wall art.”

My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.

Tradition

We produce furniture pieces in our production shop, one at a time, and still by hand. Many pieces are made for display and sale at the many art shows throughout the US that the company now regularly attends. 

Trust

Our process for creating a customer piece is fairly straight forward. We design the piece in close collaboration and communication with the customer. We then provide proportionately-accurate drawings as part of the quotation process and pricing.  

The customer knows what they are getting and I know what to do. The price is fixed and my work is guaranteed. If the customer doesn’t like it, they don’t pay for it. Period.
