Ohio Rustic furniture Makers
Lindsay Graham
 “I
have a deep passion for creating one-of-a-kind, handcrafted custom furniture
and accessories. I bring a raw sense of nature and a deep respect for fine
quality domestic and exotic woods into every piece designed. The finished
product tantalizes the sense of touch and sparks a "wow" factor to the eye.

Ray Christoff, born
and raised in Youngstown, Ohio. Graduate of Youngstown State University with
degrees in theology and philosophy. As an adolescent he found an interest in
the various belief systems of the world both past and present. In his senior
year at YSU Ray backpacked India, solo for three months studying their
culture first hand. While there he met the Dalai Lama and visited his home
in Dharamsala. He also visited Pakistan, Nepal and made efforts to enter
Tibet but was stopped at the Tibetan boarder due to the Chinese
restrictions. Since then Ray has traveled to a number of other foreign
countries. Something to do with his Gypsy ancestry, he claims.
Rick
and Denise Pratt 
Rick and Denise
Pratt are known as two of America's leading makers of traditional and
contemporary twig furnishings. Their family business, around the bend, is
located in a renovated hog barn on a 9 acre farm just north of Wooster, Ohio.
This couple grew up in the same west-side Cleveland suburb. The Pratts were
married in the late 70's and started their family right away. An old twig
rocker, previously purchased by Denise and the introduction to John Phillips
well known twig builder, provided the inspiration that started Rick building in
1980.

Custom Log Furniture! -
Take a look at this rustic log chair and writing desk. |

|

The greatest
attention went into the smallest of details for this
log chair
and rustic writing desk. It is completely rustic including hand
made wood drawer rails and a split piece of log for the drawer
pull. The log chair is very comfortable. It is slightly
reclined, but just enough so that it’s still a comfortable
typing position. The back brace for the desk also doubles as a
foot rest as 1 side is planed down. |

Do I
even need to say anything about this log bed? I think the
picture speaks for itself. It is a very romantic bed, perfect
for those cozy fall nights! You may even want to add to the
ambiance by putting lights along the top. If you can find a
better deal on a hand peeled log canopy bed, let me know! |
