Why Choose Georgia Artisan for Custom Wood Furniture?

Experienced Craftsmen

Our field is reclaimed wood carpentry, which is a unique subset of carpentry. Carpenters of fine, flawless furniture would have difficulty performing our style. So, in other words, our craft is taught and learned in-house. Habits learned in previous carpentry disciplines usually must be broken before a builder can progress at Georgia Artisan.

The three-month internship a person must go through is designed both to teach skills applicable to our company and as mentioned, break old habits that may have been learned in prior experience. Some of our craftsmen come to GA with very little carpentry experience and have been trained to do things the “Artisan way.” Collectively, we have over three decades of building this kind of furniture.

Our craftsman come from a variety of backgrounds and we use that to strengthen our process and quality. We have anyone from a retired naval welder to a culinary chef that have found their place on the Georgia Artisan team.

Quality Materials

Georgia Artisan doesn’t skip out on quality. The materials we use are inspected thoroughly by our wood selection department and will not go to the next stage in our process unless it meets our quality standards. Quality always comes first, and we do not make anything that we cannot make well. Our pieces are sturdy and stout.

The process we go through to get the materials for our furniture is incredibly labor intensive. The wood is torn down, not bought. Then we must clean the wood, de-nail it, and cut it into manageable sizes so that we may use it for projects. While most furniture makers buy their materials from suppliers, so we have an extra step in our production process that we must provide labor for. We are our own suppliers, allowing us to be as picky and stringent when analyzing the quality of materials as we want.

• Pine

Intentional, Made-to-Order Design

Most of our furniture designs are inspired by our customers, and we continue to alter and improve upon them over time. Our team is constantly improving either our process for making something or the design itself based on real feedback from customers.

We spend a lot of time saving the look and feel of the reclaimed wood while maintaining functionality. Often times, we have to make custom manufacturing processes in order to achieve this. At the end of the day, we care about how it looks more than we care if it takes 5 people to bring it into your house.
