Michigan's Rustic Furniture Makers
Hearthwoods designs have covered the full spectrum of rustic styles. We began with the old traditions of Indiana hickory, bent willow, twig furniture, and designs from the Adirondacks. Over the years we evolved into using hand hewn logs, barn beams, and free form natural trees to create our pieces. Our furniture is both classic and modern. It is for the cabin, the cottage, the contemporary house and the elegant home.
The Forest collection and the all new Fireside collection represent a devotion to timeless design and enduring value. Our custom pieces and structures are what make our work exciting and fresh.

Bill Perkins
Welcome to
Sleeping Bear Twig Furniture. My name is Bill I was first introduced as a child
to the idea of making furniture from branches, twigs and bark in their natural
state. This happened when some neighbors took me along on one of their visits
to a grandmother's "up-north" cottage, which was furnished in the rustic style.
I was really impressed by these twisting and gnarly chairs and tables since by
only previous experience with this type of thing had been the building of tree
forts and hideouts. Perkins.

There was a time when the imagination was alive, the mind wasn't poisoned with fear, and when creativity was something we did, not bought.
We ordered a twin bed, a full bed and a set of bunk beds from you back in the fall. We absolutely love the beds and they match our décor very nicely in our cedar log cabin. We were nervous about ordering over the Internet so I placed a call and Tammy was very helpful. The pictures on the Internet don't even come close to how well these beds are made and how great these beds really look. We highly recommend you to anyone that asks where we purchased our beds from." - Jennifer - Cabot, VT.

Woodworking
has been my creative passion for over 30 years. In recent years my focus has
been almost exclusively on the "rustic style" of woodworking. I love the
concept of taking a simple twig, stick, limb or log and turning it into
something that will be treasured for generations to come. It is especially
satisfying to craft beautiful, functional items by hand using the natural
form of the wood.
