“I make each part of my chairs myself, and each chair has its own unique personality. If you were to look closely at one of my chairs, you would see the individual marks left from the drawknife or spoke shave used to create each piece and how the light plays off each facet. If you were to flip the chair over, you could see the marks of the hand plane in the bottom of the seat. You would also see my signature and it is my hope that someday, maybe some young person might see that signature and wonder about who created this chair. Maybe it may spark inspiration in a future generation to continue to recreate the past.”

— Garrett Aston

early american style furniture

Primitive style home necessities, such as dry sinks and hanging cupboards, can be made to represent the historic aesthetics of our Early American ancestors. Created in the traditional fashion using long-established building and joining techniques, each period reproduction displays the Pioneering American style which originated in the 17th and 18th centuries.
