Each tree, each part of each tree....
“Each tree, each part of each tree, has its own particular destiny and its own special relationship to be fulfilled.
We roam the world to find our relationships with these trees.”

That something is Flannel.
Hamilton Carhardtt started the family-owned Carhardtt clothing business, founded in 1889. He is credited with leading generations of railroad engineers, lumberjacks and farmers to flannel. Kurt Cobain the songwriter and lead singer-guitarist of Nirvana, lead a generation of young people to grunge and flannel in the early nineties.
Carpenters/Weed-hackers
Back from a whirlwind two days in the heart of New York and back to reality.
A Black Fir L-shape desk top being glued up and the steel frame getting wire brushed for clear coating. Going to D.C. on Friday!
Got a sweet deal (25 bucks) for this piece of Sycamore and decided the weeds were overtaking the front door. Yep, reality
ICFF and BDDW and NYC
We’re taking our first company trip up to NYC to visit the International Contemporary Furniture Fair. (ICFF) We’re very excited!
And maybe even more excited to go to the BDDW showroom. A furniture company I’ve been loving for a long time now.
We’ll post lots of pics on Instagram. follow us: @dylandesign
And I think it’s a requirement to blog about your favorites from the show (everybody does it!) so we’ll put a post together so you can share in the inspiration.
Cheers, see you soon NYC!

We’re gonna need a bigger chainsaw.
There are 700+ species of Eucalyptus trees in the world. While we were at one of our sawmills last week getting wood for a project, we saw this beast sitting in the yard. Someone sent it to Hearne Hardwoods because they have one of the largest operating bandsaws in the country. The tree came from California to be re-sawn into slabs and will return there to become furniture.
Hearne Hardwoods is one of the best lumberyards in the world. Can’t wait to go back!
Keepin’ busy….
While there hasn’t been much time for blogging lately….. we are still glad you’re here! We came out with some new designs that we’re really excited about. Coffee tables and desks and benches, oh my!
We are busy finishing 2 dining tables, one for a client in DC, and one for a client in San Fransisco, and we are pumping out benches as fast as we can!
We also sold some pendant lights to a new falafel chain in Chicago!
Check out all the new stuff on Etsy
And as always, thanks for following along. -Tony
