New Dead Wood Society Furniture/Home Decor Items

 

 

Above is a very involved project we just finished, creating a table lamp/night light with beaver-chewed sticks, vines and birch bark for the base and a stretched out Sprite bottle for the bulb to sit on top of. This lamp is fully functional and uses a small night light bulb.  There are hours of vine work, finishing and meticulous glue and carpentry work wrapped up in this piece. It is a steal at $200. Contact Rich at 603-630-6235 with any questions or to arrange a pickup.

 

The above key holder hangs on the wall from a small string loop. All the vines are real, and so is the bird's nest (the eggs are plastic pearls). It is very lightweight and can hang on a single nail easily. The inlaid sign on the birch bark square says "Home is Where the Heart is." We are asking $80 for this one-of-a-kind piece. Contact Rich at 603-630-6235 with any questions or to arrange a pickup.

 

 

 

 


This table is a simple pine end table with a twist. We added birch bark accents to the woodworking in between the two platforms and also inserted this crazy looking broken limb. The limb broke in a manner that made it look like the smiling face of some monster with hair sticking out of the top of the head. There are vines wrapped around the top of the head to appear like a hair tie as well. The detail in this piece is astounding. The head piece has incredible natural designs with lots of swirls and multiple circles that could be the eyes of the monster. You can easily move the table around by grabbing anywhere under the head on the stick poking out. It is a very secure and solid bond. Also, this piece started out with a dark finish, so there is a tremendous amount of sanding work in this piece. We can let it go for $200.  Contact Rich at 603-630-6235 with any questions or to arrange a pickup.

Dead Wood Furniture Company Now Open For Business

Each year between the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, our wood sales tend to lag or stop completely. This year was no exception, but we did decide to do something unique with all that time off from the daily grind. We expanded our operations so we can now provide a wide array of rustic furniture and home decor offerings.

We currently we have two red oak tables on consignment with Cozy Cabin Rustics in Tilton, NH (in front of MB Tractor) at Exit 20 on Route 93. Though the store has many high quality items made by a variety of different craftsmen and artists, our creations are highly unique and functional. While we owe thanks and praise to Cozy Cabin Rustics for inspiring us in many ways, we also took extra steps to ensure we were not copying anyone else's style in the pieces we produce. Everything is 100% original.


One of the oak tables is made with legs stripped of bark and chewed on the floor ends by beavers. This table has two platforms, both of which are leveled off. It is finished with multiple coats of Booiled Linseed Oil and Helmsman Indoor/Outdoor Polyeurethane treatment. Here are some photos:

Our other Table at Cozy Cabin Rustics is a bit larger with two distinct tiny stars in the middle. These are naturally occuring stars, and this table is also finished with boiled linseed oil and Helmsman. It features three unique maple legs, one of which has a vine wrapped tightly around it.

The best part about this new business is that it allows us to use more of the wood we don't process for firewood. Our goal has always been to create as many byproducts as possible from the leftovers. Now we can do just that by using old slabs, barn wood, circular slices, branches, vines and bark to create high-quality products that will enhance your home decor and help inspire conversation. We also specialize in repurposing antiques and tranforming cheap, well-worn pieces into absolute masterpieces.

Both of the tables shown above can be reproduced even after the originals are gone, so if they are no longer at the Tilton store we can make something similar for you in a few days. We will also be adding many new items over the days, weeks and months to come. We will provide more photos right here as new pieces become available. We are working on everything from decorative and functional birdhouses to lamps to folding tables, bars, benches and signs. Call Rich Bergeron at 603-630-6235 to inquire about all our specialty furniture offerings.
