Reclaimed Beam Bench | Upcycled Furniture

Upcycling is all the rage these times, and with good motive. Working with products that would earlier have been regarded waste products to develop new goods is both equally cost-effective and environmentally pleasant. All throughout the globe, individuals are locating unique and imaginative ways to turn previous products into new, beneficial, and generally visually spectacular parts. No matter if it’s glass yogurt cups turning out to be a tray of seed planters or an previous espresso tin reworked into a amazing lights fixture, this new pattern allows men and women uncover the magnificence in things that would if not be clogging landfills.

Back again in 2018 our crew was transforming a sunroom for a Portland shopper. Although not all elements of the major wooden aesthetic ended up reusable, there ended up various substantial, strong beams salvaged by our carpenters. Saved in storage right up until not long ago, we hauled them out this previous summertime immediately after getting an authorised design for a personalized bench by John Weil at Weil Architecture. Built in our woodshop by Carpenter Moses Grubb and finished by Carpenter Matthew Kamenski, the ultimate piece showcases the eye-catching high-quality of the authentic fir beams.

“I enjoy doing work with this lovely outdated wooden,” suggests longtime carpenter Grubb. “It’s fascinating to re-use materials to make one thing clean that fits back again in the area so properly.”

And suit it does. The flawless execution of the bench’s cleanse and timeless layout not only elevates the upcycled beam by itself, but fantastically compliments the redesigned area it at the time once again occupies.
