In times where people cannot find the right furniture to suit their home needs, there are some who have the talent to create such with the right vision and craft. Such was the story of one Bruce Marsh who made first few pieces some years ago when he was not able to find the suitable ready made furniture.

Now as it turns out, discovering the talent of making your own furniture has enabled Marsh to go into business, accepting orders that are handmade. Among the home furniture being ordered from him include chairs, benches, beds and tables. Most of them are available at his website.

He works in hardwoods like walnut, teak and oak, most of which come from managed forests, and uses water-based finishes. The Townsend Split Table (right) has a top of inch-thick hand-hewn planks and comes in a choice of woods and sizes. A walnut table 36 inches by 96 inches that seats 10 is $1,250; in rosewood, it is $1,950.
