Big Tooth

I want to maximize my impact. I started Big Tooth Co. in Indiana, December 2015. It was inspired by the realization that my passion to create and build was almost entirely missing in my adult life.

Each furniture design, by nature (literally), is truly unique, and I am fascinated by the stories that live edge wood and wood grain share.
