Anchor Outpost

Come and see us at the Social Circle Farmer’s Market. Great Mother’s Day choices (don’t forget your mom this Sunday)

This console table started out as a classic walnut shaker side table I asked my husband to build me. I was going to put it in my office right beside my desk. The legs turned out awesome, except they were a little too high, like the height of a console table. So we did what we always do, we adjusted and made something new. We combined the elegant shaker legs with a live edge top. I thought it made a nice juxtaposition. We happened to have this beautiful slab of Ambrosia Maple, which we placed on top of the legs. From there, we made some bow ties to shore up a crack along the live edge. Then we used another strip of the live edge as a stretcher to stiffen up the base, making this console table incredibly sturdy. I love all of the visible joinery showing the contrast between the walnut and the maple. It’s incredibly beautiful yet incredibly understated. I was tempted to keep it for myself but we decided to add it to our booth instead. This is one of those pieces that grows with you and holds onto your family memories until you ultimately pass it down to your children. I would love to see where it ends up.

Being a small bustiness owner is more then a 9-5. Thats ok, because it allows for us to be there for the family when it counts. Family comes first, but never neglect your resposibilities.

Added some fun stuff to the booth at The Thorn and Thistle today.

My favorite was this live edge console table we made. It’s a mix of ambrosia maple and walnut.

I feel like I might just want to move into our booth now 😆.

Just added this stunning rustic bench to our booth at The Thorn and Thistle. It’s solid oak, reclaimed rail car flooring (some sturdy material for sure). We love how it turned out.

We are excited to have a booth a The Thorn and Thistle in Social Circle!

We just received this coffee cup from Shallow Water Pottery. It is the perfect size and I am also impressed with the craftsmanship. I recommend you checking out this veteran owned business.
