Fine Furnishings Begin With Natural Materials

This Old Growth Tree Was Never Cut Down - Only A Photo Opportunity - Our Old Growth Timber Is Acquired Only When Mother Nature Makes It Available Through Peril, Storm, Natural Erosion, or Fire.

Scottsdale Art Factory L.L.C. Offers Solid Wood Construction. When you order custom wood furnishings, doors, gates, built in cabinets and other wood products you can expect superior quality and service. When we say a table top is 3" thick, we mean it is solid wood, 3" thick ( not 3/4" of surface material and a 2 1/4" of boarder trim board to make it appear thicker). This method of solid construction is present in all our items and styles. This allows us to offer the only handmade, custom furniture and decorative accessory line with a "Guaranteed Forever" warranty. A guarantee is backed by nine decades as an experienced national U.S. manufacturer.

Our Materials Are Processed And Finished To Achieve Genuine Authenticity. Each item produced by Scottsdale Art Factory L.L.C. is artistically designed from an original handmade work of art and combined with the craftsmanship of a master craftsman, making it a unique work of usable, collectable art. In order to achieve certain old patina appearances on the first day, the thickness of woods and types of joining required are pre-designed for each piece. In some cases, the material used is specially treated or expanded prior to assembly in order to allow for shrinkage after assembly. This creates an aged planking appearance and irregular natural warping or cracking normally found in old, authentic handcrafted furnishings. This process does not reduce the value of each piece because all we have done is sped up the aging process. Not applied fake or faux finishes to achieve this look.

All Our Timber Is Milled And Naturally Dessert Air Dried And Cured At S.A.F. we have the ability to create solid slab tops and can tightly fit any design into a more conventional modern day style, simply specify when ordering. We can also create solid lumber as thin as 1/8" to as thick as 12“ without lamination to fit any special design requirements.

We at Scottsdale Art Factory are precise in our use of spacing, planking, cracked woods, pegging, and hand carving. We never beat up our wood with hammers and chains to achieve the imperfections that create a rustic look. The natural imperfections present in each piece are natural and are intentional. We believe these natural imperfections enhance each item and add artistic appeal while retaining their structural integrity.

All Our Timber Is Naturally Air Dried On The Desert Floor (no forced air kiln drying).

Our exotic woods are naturally air dried on the desert floor for at least 12 months to less than 4% moisture content. Our old growth woods cure and dry sometimes as much as 5 years or more. We never kiln or force dry our wood. Force drying allows pockets of moisture that later can cause warping, bowing and cracking after the product is manufactured. Sometimes kiln dried woods will dry as much as 25% after the product is delivered to your home and climate. The out come of kiln drying is usually never favorable.

this simply means if your product warps, bows, splits or cracks when it re-moisturizes in your climate and becomes structurally breeched we will rebuild or replace you product at no charge to you.
