Live edge furniture and art pieces, made from wood sourced from New York’s Finger Lakes region.

Every piece has a story.

“What kind of wood it is, what part of the tree it came from, it’s age, where in upstate NY it’s grown, what it took to preserve it, how to finish it, how to show it off…every piece is unique.”

“The odd, ‘imperfect’ pieces are the ones that really inspire me. I enjoy trying to find the potential in what they could be. Each project requires a different approach and level of care, and some can take up to a year to complete.”

Of Many, One.

“Each piece is as unique as the person it’s meant for. Just like the wood spoke to me in its own way, my hope is that one person will connect with it once it’s finished.”

The Woodworker

RYAN GREEN

I’ve always loved art, nature, and the idea of creating something. My dad is a master craftsman, and I grew up watching him make incredible pieces that require precise measurements and perfect cuts. I discovered my own love of woodworking after moving from Brooklyn up to the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York, and stumbled on incredible live edge slabs from the Mennonite and Amish communities.

Over time, I developed my own style that embraces the “imperfections” in the wood, and I gravitate towards unique, funky pieces. Things like spalting, burls, cracks, wormholes, and the wood’s natural live edge all add character that to me, is beautiful. I only buy pieces that I connect with (hence, no commissions), and then try to respect nature and let the wood speak for itself. Finding that next piece brings me so much joy.
I would be beyond thankful if one of these pieces speaks to you too. If so, let me know.
