Aspen Character
Aspen or "Quakie" as the locals call it is rich with natural striation
and environmental effects from weather and fire, as well as biological
help from animals. Each piece of timber we use is unique.
The trees grow above 8,000 feet and are subject to high winds and stress
from snow-pack which beautifully contorts and bends the towering aspen.
Other characteristics can include: elk chew, worm grooves, burls and
scorch marks.
Requests for special characteristics are taken into consideration for
custom-built pieces.
Our Designs are Grown-
The Rustic Style approach to home furnishings is organic. We think
real living area aren't created, they're grown.
Each unique piece of Rustic Style Furniture is created not just
assembled. It's harvested, dried and hand-sanded to a super-fine
finish, exploiting the natural grain, curvature and color without the
need of synthetic lacquers or stains. Pure Danish Oil is applied
and hand-rubbed onto every piece of Rustic Style Furniture to enhance
the wood's natural color and distinct characteristics and sent to you
from 8,000 feet in the Rockies.
Friends of the Environment-
Our furniture is created by thinning and harvesting dead-standing and fallen
aspen trees. Animal habitats are always taken into consideration
before removing the logs.
Rustic Style has been inventing and creating furniture for over five years
in an effort to utilize the abundance of dead wood cluttering up the local
forests and to revalue the commodity of forest timber rather than turning it
into firewood. Each timber is carefully selected with a specific piece
of furniture in mind.
