If you are looking for reclaimed, rustic woodwork built just for you, take a look at my FB page ProFile Finish or look at my online gallery at profilefinish.net. Things are still in the works on the website as I’m better working in the shop as opposed to the keyboard and screen. If you have ideas for tables, cabinets, bookshelves, vanities, picture or poster frames, bathroom shelving units, or just a vision to share with me, I will create it. Just a quick estimation, but I would say I’m using at least 50% reclaimed or recycled materials sourced from northwestern Wyoming. However, when you see some of these online sites with reclaimed furniture, you are getting dirty, old wood, that’s put together as quickly and as cheap as possible. For instance, my tables that incorporate a stump base have had the stump peeled and treated with a borax solution that is nontoxic to humans yet rids the wood of any pests that like to bite their way into the material. I take old timbers and I plane them down, square them, and join it all seamlessly. What I don’t do is cut a pallet in half, put some casters on it, and spray it with a rattle can if Krylon, while putting a $400.00 price tag on it. I like to take older materials and bring them back to life. The degree of difficulty in doing this is much higher than using pre-milled lumber from the lumber yard. It’s also environmentally friendly, and I find that under the surface of these aged materials are different grains and markings that you won’t find in the lumber from a tree farm. I can personally guarantee that there is no way to re-create a single one of my pieces. If you find value in those qualities, send me a PM or call or text (307)250-956), or email [email protected].
I still offer paint and drywall services, but have change focus and moved into building furniture, cabinetry, etc.
