"The modern trouble
lies not with the use of machinery
but with the abuse of it...."
Gustav Stickley, 1906

The reason our finishes have been called "the finest in the reproduction market and the closest to the original antiques".
Our finish is a 30 step hand applied process that's taken 10 years to perfect. We begin with fuming/dying and move on to our own shop mixed shellacs, glazes, fillers, and waxes.
Never sprayed or topcoated, never coated in plastic!
The HHH finish produces multiple light capturing layers. Our hand process produces an absolute historic, durable finish with a natural wood feel.
We're proud to say our pieces are in homes next to original antiques and posess the same warm patina as the originals.
"Purchasing Head, Heart, and Hand furniture shows that you appreciate quality and embody a true understanding of the original ideals of the arts & crafts movement".

HHH quality begins with our wood selection
we don't use 8 - 3" boards to make a 24" panel
we use 2 - 12" boards to make a 24" panel
tradition and proper woodworking is our highest priority
