Bowling for art: Staples Cabinet Makers

Bowling_for_art
I just uncovered the best resource for rustic, farm fresh furniture and cabinetry in Massachusetts. Staples Cabinet Makers takes old tables, ice chests, doors and just about anything that can be repurposed into cottage-style furniture. I think the kitchen islands are particularly compelling. For something that fits into any house, I like these hand-turned bowls from wood that comes out of old barns, mills and houses (that would otherwise have become landfill). The vessels are finished with Velvit Oil - a soy-based product - achieving a smooth, satiny surface. Staples "wedding bowls" cracks and crevices are highlighted to emphasize the uniqueness of the individual piece. Just don't try to use this as a cereal bowl. These gorgeous works of art call for still life only.
