Steve Skelton– Hand-Crafted Furniture (see #17 on the Map)

My hand-crafted furniture ranges in style from conventional cabinetry to craftsman to contemporary. I am fortunate to own 155 acres of old growth forest in east Texas, where I obtain my wood. The wood typically comes from 100+ year old trees which have died of natural causes or have been blown down. I have the logs milled, then I age them for 2 or more years before turning them into lumber. I frequently integrate the “imperfections” of the wood, i.e. knots, beetle holes, interesting grain, etc. into the design to create visual interest. In my most recent piece I have combined wood, wrought steel, marble and fused glass in the design. I enjoy collaborating with my clients on the design of the pieces, creating something that reflects their individual tastes.

The use of wood obtained from a sustainable source has been well received by my clients, and is consistent with the publics’ awareness of the need for conservation of our natural resources.
