Tim Pierce, Craftsman at Hornbeam Craft

When I was a young boy, I loved Legos™. I had a tub of them that was a collection of all of the kits I had gotten over the years. I would build each kit to instructions, but slowly the pieces and parts would make their way into the general bucket and other future constructions. The joy of pulling that tub out and having hundreds of blocks available for whatever I wanted to make was thrilling. Well, Legos™ became wood boats, then cabinetry, furniture, housewares and art pieces. I have the greatest feeling of hope and potential when surrounded by quantities of unique and diverse materials and a clear space to work with them.

My customers care that what I make:

  • Has an interesting story

  • Fits how humans use it

  • Blends into its surroundings (or stands out, if desired)

  • Is easy to use and makes intuitive sense

  • Brings joy in its harmonious and balanced use of pattern, texture, color, shape and proportion

  • Complements its materials and vice versa.

  • Contains mostly natural materials like wood, masonry, steel, copper

Whether I’m making something new or rejuvenating an old favorite, I enjoy working through the process with my clients to achieve a beautiful finished product.

Please drop me a line to talk about your special project.
