Sauna - Reclaimed Cedar
$9,800.00
-
Functional reclaimed art.
This timber framed sauna is built from local Kenai Peninsula rough cut spruce timbers, reclaimed cedar logs make the walls, and locally milled driftwood cedar decking. The cedar logs used in the walls was salvaged from the demo of a historic building that stood for decades at the base of the Homer Spit.
The spruce timbers are treated with fire in the style of shou sugi ban or yakisugi. Both terms for a traditional technique used in Japan to preserve wood. Read more about this fascinating process in the tab 'Shou Sugi Ban' linked above.
The structure is a completed frame awaiting finishing touches. It can be sold as is, and finished by yourself or contractor of your choice, or we can finish it for you according to your desires. It is built on skids and can be moved with relative ease, and we can help coordinate relocation as needed. It is located in Homer.
Please contact us with questions and to schedule a showing.

Salmon wall shelf with hooks

Functional art for all the salmon lovers out there!
I set out to create something beautiful and unique that could enter your daily life.
Wood, steel, and concrete - the magic trifecta. If you haven't experienced the combination of these materials it's hard to describe. Strong, solid, hard, soft, cold, warm, smooth and textured all together.
Neighbor Rob Wiard has been producing concrete panels with salmon as a sort of ongoing experiment. I guess his enthusiasm was contagious and my imagination would not be still amongst the growing stacks of schools of salmon.
Looking around the shop I put the pieces together, first a strong steel frame to hold the heavy and solid concrete. Then warm and storied wood to soften things and create a shelf and space for the hooks.
These wall shelves with hooks will fit into entryways, bathrooms, bedrooms and. . .?
Every piece is unique and one of a kind. Small changes are made in the steel frames as materials and ideas come and go. Every concrete panel has different coloring and patterns. The wood shelf and hook boards are selected and processed to highlight unique characteristics whether driftwood cedar, live edge birch, or weathered spruce.
When you order please describe your selected piece. If I have any questions I'll contact you to clarify. Custom colors and sizes are available, Contact Us for a quote.
Barstool - Reclaimed Wood and Metal
$475.00

We set out to design a barstool using our stock of reclaimed 1 1/4" rusty steel, and a nice sturdy piece of reclaimed spruce. The challenge we gave ourselves was to build it without using screws, glues, or any fasteners. Here it is, a puzzle of sorts, the wood seat is captured by the steel in a secure way without the use of any fasteners. The design requires the welding of the frame to be completed after placing the seat. A small inconvenience for what we believe is an inspired and simple design.
The weathered spruce seat and rested metal gives this barstool and timeless appearance. We even weather the fresh metal work so that there are no glaring manufacturing marks to distract you from the natural patina. It could be 20 years old and you'd never know the difference.
