Hold True Custom

I feel like anyone who has started a small business can look back on their first video and say "wow that was so amateur, look how far I've come"...well, here is my first, very amateur, compilation video of how I put together this bedside table. I forgot to film during many of my work sessions, so naturally there are a few gaps. Keeping with the Irish music that @jovonrosen put together for his table legs video, I went with a little tune by Flogging Molly. The table is made from live edge Ash, and it was finished with a clear polyurethane to give a very natural look. These bedside tables are currently at an Air BnB in Niagara On The Lake!

Hey, it’s me again! Hope you’re staying safe! Take a look at this beautiful console table I just finished up! Made from rough cut walnut, I sanded it to 180 grit, applied 4 coats of tung oil to really bring out the natural grain and colours of the wood. I then finished it with 3 coats of polyurethane to seal it in and protect it. I used Matte black, stainless steel hairpin legs to hold it up. DM if you’re interested in one!

Most recent project completion! A custom made, live edge, red oak book shelf with galvanized pipe brackets. This piece was finished using a chestnut stain to match an existing unit below, and sealed in with a satin varathane. DM for info on how I can go about building a similar item for you!

FOR SALE! This is a rare piece. I found this beautiful sycamore slab, and decided to work some magic and turn it into a live edge coffee table. I had never worked with sycamore before, and boy was I ever in for an adventure. The grain is beautiful, and all over the place, and the wood is difficult to work with in terms of finding the perfect finish. I am extremely happy with how it turned out. It was finished with 3 coats of Rubio Monocoat Pure 2C, and comes with a pair of beautiful trapezoid stainless steel matte legs. This is a one of a kind item, and it is rare to see furniture made from sycamore. DM for pricing and details.

This white oak shelf was a gift for a friend of mine. Bark still intact, and sealed in with a polyurethane. The galvanized pipe is always a cool contrast with the rustic live edge. This style is readily available in any style of wood you'd like. Finishes can vary in gloss, colour, and texture. Happy to customize any piece you'd like!
