Own a Piece of Waco History

I know I have mentioned this many times before, but I have an incredibly talented husband who loves to build things for our store.  We were blessed to get our hands on the wood that came out of the 100+ year old building that used to house the Waco Tribune Herald newspaper in Waco at 6th and Franklin.  The building was recently demolished to become the new Franklin Place which we are very excited about as well.  This wood is the best we have ever seen.  It is super heavy, thick, extremely beautiful, 20 foot and longer boards of old long leaf pine.  We can make almost anything out of it for your home.   All the tables in the shop made of this wood have already sold and we have received multiple orders.  If you are interested, order now as supplies are dwindling, but we always have a stash of reclaimed wood ready to make any furnishings you desire. 

Below is an article profiled on us in February's issue of Wacoan magazine.

He will probably kill me for for posting this.  Here is the craftsman himself finishing up a custom farm table for the Castillo family.  Notice the beautiful table top in the background.  I assure you this photo was not staged.  He didn't even know I had my camera.  He is just joyfully doing what he does best. 

He was probably laughing at these guys!  Meet the wood shop helpers troublemakers!
