operations: burls, dog-legs, unmanageable crotches, gnarled branches and center-rotten trunks not valued by commercial mills as saw logs. In concert with George Nakashima's sensibilities, the Holzapfels give renewed life and respect to these "worthless" treasures, lending voice to the natural trees inside.

David and Michelle's designs are all one of a kind. Some will not be able to be re-created because of the unique nature of the woods they have selected. However in their magical treasury of incredible forest finds, the Holzapfels have new and astonishing natural tree elements waiting to be transformed into elegant pieces of fine functional art for you and your family.
