We believe in home, and we believe the furniture that fills your home should tell a story. Your furniture should mean something.
About Porter Furniture
Call us old fashioned...but we believe the best things are still built by hand.
Several years ago, I was given a barn by a family friend that was on it's last leg. It was set to be destroyed; instead, I took the barn apart by hand, saving every piece of useable lumber that I could, and Porter Furniture was born.
Every time we take a barn apart, we are amazed at the craftsmanship and care that went into these structures. We take great care to put the same detail into every piece of furniture that we create, giving new life to this lumber.
We love our work, and we would love to create a one of a kind piece of furniture...just for you.
The Source
Our reclaimed lumber comes straight from the source; century old barns and structures that are taken apart and repurposed with great care.
The Reason
The lumber has character that is impossible to recreate; old square nail holes, worm holes, knots and other characteristics that make it unmistakably original.
The Results
A truly unique piece of furniture that tells a story, and gives you the perfect setting to create your own stories.
-
Where does your reclaimed lumber come from?Our reclaimed lumber comes straight from the source: century old barns right here in the Midwest. We take great care disassembling these barns by hand, saving every piece of lumber that we can to use in our furniture. The lumber then comes to the shop, gets de-nailed, planed, sanded and finished by hand.
