The Maker's Story

Where Tree Rings Become Art

Every piece from Treeman Studio begins with a fallen or harvested tree. We source locally whenever possible—spalted sweetgum from California; black walnut and cherry from Wisconsin; and ash and elm from our local town, Monterey Park.

The lathe reveals what years of growth have hidden inside. No two pieces are ever alike. That ring pattern, that spalted streak, that curl — it's nature's signature, and we're just the ones who bring it to light.

How It's Made

From Forest to Table

A piece from Treeman Studio passes through patient, practiced hands at every stage of its creation.

01

Select & Source

Each blank is hand-selected for unique grain pattern, figure, and natural character.

02

Rough Turn

The log is mounted on the lathe and rough-turned to shape, then dried for weeks or months.

03

Final Turn

Once stable, the piece returns to the lathe for final shaping and wall thickness refinement.

04

Finish & Sign

Hand-sanded through fine grits, finished with food-safe oils, and signed by the maker.
