To a lover of all things handmade, it is a pure joy to own and cherish an authentic American-made piece of rustic furniture. Our beautiful log furniture, stairs and railings, and other elements for your home have their beginnings in the hills of North America where logs are harvested, or fine old materials are reclaimed, and sent to Appalachian Designs to be transformed into items of artistic and natural beauty. We want to emphasize the handcrafted nature of what we do. Also our made-to-order credo. Our customers have a say in everything we build. Even if it's something as simple as adjusting the mattress height on a bed. Or as creative as providing your dream, one-of-a-kind design for us to create. We think that's what sets us apart.

Much like nature, each one of a kind works of wood comes together according to size, shape and a little imagination. The cutting and laminating process allows for each piece to be hollow and lightweight. Some pieces -- with removable tops can give you an added sense of security as it has the potential to be a safe. Sand Blasting gives these works an added look of nature, soft and hardwood is exposed and highlighted and then sealed with several coats of polyurethane with hand sanding between each coats. The last coat can be a low luster, semi-gloss, or high gloss finish. On some pieces I use a white bisque stain that gives the look of a see thru whitewash finish. Color tints can also be used. The tables and plant stands can have glass, wood, marble or solid surface tops.

At Amateur Woodworker, we believe that woodworking should not be an expensive hobby. Sure, if you want to spend thousands of dollars on the latest table saw gizmo then you can. But the point is that you don't have to in order to make our projects.
