Also offered is white oak which is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Our team takes pride in what we do and how we do it. Custom selections from our mainstays are made by the same process as custom. First, the type of furniture like a dining table is determined by style: Farmhouse, Rancher, Craftsman, Modern, Live-Edge and more, and collaboration continues over the type of wood for hard- ness, durability, appearance, care, and over- all appearance to suit the client. We offer different levels of distressing. For example, Wasatch has three sanding finishes from rustic to refined texture. Finally, stain and glazes are reviewed along with final coat. Because any size table from 36" x 36" with leaves to 156" x 48" is available to be made, clients often walk through the show- room door announcing they have arrived to purchase their dining table. With a wide selection of chairs to try out they decide on exactly what they want for family gather- ings and friendly fun. Black Timber Furniture's ability to design and build furniture gives a special opportunity to customers who wish to have something unique to pass down to the family. After customization options are sketched from the design process, final decisions are made, and merchandise is ordered, our clients look forward to receiv- ing a CAD drawing to scale and detail of what their furniture item looks like. Making the item follows soon after final approval and hardware decisions. "e process is as simple or detailed as required to accomplish our client's wishes" Todd adds. "It is very exciting when we work together in finishing and furnishing an entire home. e quality of our furniture and wide variety of styles and custom possibilities makes a home very personal, whether modern or traditional." As a whole home finishing solution, BTF furnishes stairway railings, panel- ing, stair treads, vanities, countertops, barn doors, built-in cabinetry, and whatever the client can imagine. BTF provides many live edge countertops, barndoors, and trim. An extensive recent renovation featured custom hickory bookcases, a bar cabinet, an entry seated coat rack, stair treads, and a stair railing that provided architectural detail and charm to an existing home desperately in need of character. "We enjoy the challenge of new project brought to us by customers inspired from a visit to our showroom or by visiting our website," says Todd. "At Black Timber Fur- niture, we feel that furniture is the key to pulling a home together, so we focus on the specific needs and wishes from out custom- ers. We specialize in Mission, farmhouse, traditional rustic and contemporary, how- ever as the area expands in modern style homes, we meet these requirements with our modern designs. A new contemporary line will be introduced late this summer. Our clientele appreciates our sincere col- laborative effort to guide them to the best results, and our knowledge and expertise move the process into a shared vision that results in the final approval for production," Todd explains. "Our core business derives from our furniture collections that stand the test of time. Many selections are avail- able within each collection to personalize it.
