This lamp is an ultimate marriage between chic, modern design and recycling. It is made from Michigan Cherry, and was rescued from being discarded into firewood or tossed into the compost pile.

Since it was salvaged, it is no surprise that it has plenty of character. The beautiful grain patterns include a lot of spalting, and there are some cracks that it came with before the turning process.

It has been polished and given a sturdy seal that will last for years and stand up to dustbunnies exceptionally well.

The lamp is about 24″ tall from the base to the top of the light fixture – not including lamp shade. This listing does NOT include the shade. If you are interested in the pair please contact me- but for shipping purposes, it is easier and cheaper to let you choose your own lampshade.

The design really lends itself to blending into all kinds of decor- from very modern, to more traditional and even a country chic.

Perfect for a Lit Geek, a Language Geek, a writer, or anybody with a way with words. It’s words about words, arranged in a random pattern on a 12×12″ square.

The wood is made from recycled plywood, that was one part of the gym floor at the Geek Group’s Leonard Street Labs.

It has a keyhole in the back, which makes for flush hanging on the wall.

A fun combination of old and new- this design is based off of an old woodcut illustration from the 16th century, carved on what is only a 21st century CNC machine.

It is made from recycled plywood from the Geek Group’s Leonard Street Lab’s old gym floor.

This is done with a walnut varnish on the plywood and a gold enamel on the engraving. The quirky pattern would fit in well in any decor- traditional, Tudor, contemporary or the most of modern.

It has a keyhole in the back for easy hanging that is flush to the wall.

This little piece of art is a clever play on aesthetic and words. The front half is a carved vase, and the back half is a post-modern block with a large hole cut in it that turns it into a fully functional vase. So the vase… is not the vase.

It is made out of laminated oak with a stripe of beautiful padauk in the middle.

While this vase is perfectly watertight, we do not recommend you use it with water! It is however a fairly standard size and would be perfect with a small glass insert if you want to fill it with flowers. It is also the perfect size for pens, paintbrushes, or even silk flowers.

It has been treated and sealed beautifully with a hard wax formula, and will deepen and dramatise in grain and colour when exposed to sunlight over time.

It is roughly six inches tall.

This wooden cup was turned lovingly at The Geek Group’s HQ out of a piece of lumber that was harvested by another Michigan Geek Group member. We’re pretty sure it is mulberry – and it is rock hard. It is the perfect size for a table centrepiece, perhaps filled with candy or ornaments.

It is not recommended to use it for consuming food.

This chalice is full of character that keeps appearing as you study it. The major change in colour is due to a live edge retention that brought out the absolute beauty of this lumber.

A beautiful sentiment sure to keep close to your heart-

In the original Latin, “Amor est spiritus qui nos alet”, which in English is “Love is the Breath that Sustains Us”.

Carved into a beautifully grained piece of hard maple that was doomed for the recycle bin. It has hooks carved into the back so that it will hang flush to the wall, adding a perfect piece of romance to any room!

We only have one of this item, and once it’s gone- it’s gone!

A classic design- tattoo flame swirls engulfed around a bright red heart.

Inside of the beautiful grain of the rock maple is some gorgeous ambroisa wood.

It is a beautiful combination of traditional wood and rock n’ roll. Sure to be a great addition to any room or office!
