Appalachian Joinery

1/8

The man behind Appalachian Joinery, Chester Shuey, lives and works in Asheville, North Carolina, where he makes furniture that pairs the principles of modern design with building techniques nurtured for centuries in the Appalachian Mountains. Whether a small stool or a large bed frame, an original design or a reproduction, each piece is crafted of locally salvaged hardwood, rich in history, with a hand-rubbed oil finish that enhances the inherent beauty of the natural material. "Should all furniture last generations? I think so," Shuey says. Visit Appalachian Joinery now.

Flint Alley Furniture

5/8

A small, family-owned business based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Flint Alley Furniture makes each piece to order, giving customers the chance to customize their purchase by specifying the wood species and, in some cases, the finish as well. Of course, given the small size of the company, the popularity of its furniture, and the amount of work involved in handcrafting a desk or coffee table, you're not going to get overnight delivery. But for midcentury-style furniture designed and built to last for generations, what's a few weeks' wait time? Visit Flint Alley Furniture now.
