Real Solid Wood Dining Tables

Wood-tablesReal solid wood dining tables are our most popular, best selling pieces at Vermont Woods Studios Fine Furniture.  Customers usually come to us for solid cherry wood tables, but we also build a good number of tables in maple, walnut and oak wood too. 


Why wood?  I mean you could eat off a glass top table or a metal table or even a plastic table.  I think for many people, wood makes an important emotional connection.  Read more on the Vermont wood furniture blog.

Vermont Reclaimed Barn Wood Furniture Featured

Reclaimed-barnwood-sinkCheck out the Burlington Free Press article on Vermont Woods Studios reclaimed barnwood furniture.  It shines a spotlight on Vermont's fine furniture industry and focuse on our company, Vermont Woods Studios in particular.

We'll be on the front page of the Living section on January 26, 2012. 

With all the press we've had lately, it's great to see that people are starting to recognize that Vermont truly is the Fine Furniture Capital of America with some 2000+ small furniture makers located throughout the state.  We send our thanks to Stephen Mills for helping to spread the word.

Wood Furniture: Sustainability and Karma

Clearlake-rocker

Today I wanted to talk about where "fine wood furniture" comes from and how it makes it's way to your bedroom or kitchen.  Would you believe that most of the so called "fine wood furniture" that's sold in America today is made in China or VietNam from wood that was logged unsustainably (and often illegally) from the rainforests of South America, Africa, Siberia and Asia?  I know it sounds like extremist rhetoric, but it's really not.  Kendall just published a page on sustainable furniture today, reminding us about the environmental damage that comes from rainforest destruction.
So my point is, if you're going to define fine wood furniture, you probably do need to address where it comes from.
