I’m Marc Stimpson, a furniture maker who finds inspiration in nature and in God’s creation. I grew up working alongside my father in the trades, where I learned the value of hard work, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. In 2011, I turned that foundation into my own business, creating one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect both timeless design and the beauty of the natural world.

Beyond the workshop, I’m a husband to an amazing wife, a talented photographer, and a proud father of two. Together, we make our home in a quiet valley in New England — a place that continues to shape my work with its landscapes, seasons, and sense of community.

Life on our property is full and lively. We care for a flock of twelve chickens, three spirited goats, and our loyal poodle, Winston. A large garden rounds out our homestead, giving us a deeper connection to the land and a rhythm to the seasons. These daily experiences with animals, growth, and the cycles of nature constantly influence both my outlook and my craft.

Locally Salvaged Lumber 

We are saving historical trees and creating heirloom quality pieces to last many generations after. All of our trees are coming down because of age, disease, or storm damage. All of our furniture was once a tree, and we knew that tree. That is what makes our pieces unique and that is why they should mean so much to you.
