Rescued Wood
We rescue wood from the corporate big box stores. These boards aren’t perfect. They may be stained, split or bent, so the store just throws them away. Tons of beautiful pine, oak, and walnut boards are going to a landfill. We try to do a small part of creation care by rescuing them for our works.
Ancient Economy
Whether it was the Native Americans who lived in the Moshannon Valley or our personal ancestors who settled there, Lost Run Woodworks maintains a “don’t waste anything” and “make do with what you have” mentality. Therefore, we use rescued wood and minimal tooling to bring beauty to your home.
Beautiful Creations
The beauty of ancient handmade isn’t in the perfect symmetry. It is in the natural beauty with the practicality that the wood produces as it is shaped in the woodworker’s hands.
