Mr. Davis learned to turn fallen timber into art from his father who learned from his father before him. On and on it goes in these mountains generational wisdom passed down that today I benefit from. A few days ago I mentioned to Jennifer that I would like a set as I was eyeing the giant dough bowl they’re nested in. I had already decided I was going back for the bowl when she messaged me that my measuring cups were ready to go 😍. The wood for all of this came from fallen timber on her farm. The roots of these trees once went nearly as deep into these Central Appalachian mountains I call home as my own do. When I purchase things, which I rarely do, it is always with intention that one day these pieces will be fit to pass down to my coming generations. Someday a great-grandchild will measure with these cups and knead dough in this bowl made with my own great great grandmother’s sourdough starter just as I and my daughter have. Made in America is wonderful but Made in Appalachia is twice better. I have always said that these mountains are an Eden providing nearly anything one would ever need to survive. From wild medicine, to fertile soil to grow all the things, to fresh clean water flowing in our streams teeming with trout, and forests filled with all manner of wildlife. It’s easy to see why our ancestors lingered here and did not venture into the flatlands further west.

Just installed this beautiful piece into a well deserved office for a great client today. @generalfinishes Black Cherry dye stain for the case, rails, and stiles and solid book matched flame maple panels in sequence top to bottom. Lots of time and elbow grease, but well worth the effort to see it in place! #cbwoodcraft #cbwoodcraftdesign #flamemaple #maple #craftsmanshipisntdead #artisanwoodwork #craftsmanship @christiandaniels602544 (at Franklin, Tennessee)
