We’ve all seen it.

Broken, unwanted furniture piled up on the curb. But beneath the grim and failing glue joints is often solid hardwood. With a touch of careful reimagination, that same material can be transformed from overlooked waste into thoughtful new object.

From Trash

to Opportunity.

Multiple clamps securing a wooden piece on a workbench in a woodworking shop.
Wooden log being cut with a bandsaw on a workbench.
A woodworking router cutting detailed patterns into a piece of wood on a workbench.
Two wooden boat models on a wooden work surface, with one being partially assembled and the other fully assembled with wooden pegs.

The process of creating these vases starts with repairs on the repurposed lumber. Once completed, the wood is glued into blocks and ready for CNC machining. (A CNC is essentially a large machine that’s programmed to remove material with a spinning cutter.)

Each vase is made from two halves, with each side undergoing several rounds of machining in different orientations to achieve a seamless pasta shape.
