The Art of Salvage

At Sage and Sawdust, we believe in the potential of salvaged materials. Each project begins with sourcing unique pieces of wood that have been cast aside. These pieces, often overlooked, become the canvas for our imagination and craftsmanship. By working with salvaged materials, we not only reduce waste but also create items rich with character and history.

Our projects range from simple home decor items to intricate furniture pieces, all crafted with an eye for detail and a respect for the material's past life. The charm of working with salvaged wood lies in the unexpected grains, textures, and colors that each piece offers, ensuring that no two projects are ever the same.

One of our favorite aspects of working with salvaged materials is the challenge and satisfaction that comes from transforming something old into something new.
