{SPECTACULAR} Bristlecone Pine Log Furniture
I have been fueling my passion for RUSTIC Furniture for over 15 years, in that time I have collected hundreds of images of log furniture.
I recently came across Bristlecone Pine Company which has trumped them all!!
Owned by Dave Spiesman, a self-described one man show, Bristlecone Pine Company encompasses the raw, natural beauty of RUSTIC furniture. 
In fact, the name Bristlecone Pine comes from the tree of the same name. David uses Bristlecone Pine, the oldest living thing on the planet, to create his primitive designs. He shared with me that the dead wood he uses has been dated to be 2000 to 2400 years old {think about that ~ 2000 years old, WOW}. Per David’s research the oldest living bristlecones are in California and have been dated to be 10,000 to 12,000 years old.
In addition to his Stunning BEDS, David also makes TABLES * CHAIRS * MIRRORS * LAMPS * and POOL TABLES!! All of the chairs & sofas {ABOVE} feature cushions covered with Cowhide or Buffalo Hide. I love this in an entry way or sun room ~ or two of the chairs coupled with a BIG leather sofa… LOVE IT!!
Each of Dave’s creations is made by hand, piece by piece, with lots of heart and a PASSION for creating beautiful furniture that “flows”. To see the heart of a man all you need to see his smile… on each page of his website Dave offers a short video about his approach to design. These short videos make this artist’s passion palpable. You can also view a YouTube video of Dave HERE.
So if you are interested in Bristlecone Pine’s truly GREEN furniture, pieces filled with CHARACTER and RUSTIC Grace, then you may head to either of the two stores that carry Dave’s work ~ Fortney’s Antiques in Austin, TX or Santa Fe Ranch in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. Dave also attends some shows, his biggest being the Texas Renaissance Festival in Plantersville, Texas {about an hour NW of Houston}. If you’re not in the regions of Texas or Florida then definitely give Dave a holler and he would be HONORED to make a piece for your home or office…
