Creative Art Furniture

TODAY: Christine and Stephen Staples retired from creating one of a kind custom artful furniture the last day of 2019. They no longer have a workshop and showroom. They do, however, have an eBay store. Check it out at http://www.ebay.com/str/pinnaclepickers. Lots of unique, antique and vintage items collected over the 46 years in business shopping the homesteads and factories of New England. They have everything from old furniture hardware, hand tools, books, maps and so much more. Listing daily! PREVIOUS BUSINESS OF 46 YEARS: Stephen C. Staples produced eclectic, unique, timeless, environmentally-friendly furniture art crafted from 200 and 300 year-old reclaimed wood, metal and antique fragments. Owner with his wife Christine, master craftsman and furniture designer, Stephen spent over four decades studying his medium, refining and perfecting his finishes and mastering his craft. He produced some of the most unique and sought-after creative art furniture in the country. Staples found inspiration in old growth lumber that he turned into handcrafted tables, cupboards, kitchen islands, and custom-design pieces. Staples' reclaimed wood originated from razed barns, mills and homes primarily throughout New England. Virgin growth lumber is the finest wood available to craftsmen and artisans--the wood is dense, heavy, strong and beautifully patinaed. Staples discovered he could breathe new life into each magnificent reclaimed board through its transformation into his unique creative art furniture. The wood that Staples reclaimed offered not only incomparable beauty, but each board held its own story having survived the rigors of time. The heirloom quality furniture that Staples created adds a lasting legacy to this historic wood. Each of his creations was paper labeled, signed and dated and then he added his unique signet mark on the surface, much like an artist signs his/her canvas.
