Rustic Furniture

Rustic furniture is characterized by its hand made look. It may have bark left on the wood and often involves unfinished logs and twigs. You can even make rustic furniture yourself using simple hand tools and traditional building methods. Rustic furniture is most appreciated by those who love to be in a natural environment where modern industry is nearly forgotten.

Rustic furniture is popular for use at the cottage or in the backyard. It blends in with nature and gains character over time with exposure to the elements. The wood will darken and lighten in a variety of patterns. If rustic furniture is stained, the colour will penetrate unevenly adding to the rustic charm.
