Specializing in reproductions of  17th century furniture and woodwork

Welcome to our  Home Page.

Heart of the Wood specializes in reproducing furniture and woodwork of the 17th century.  Working by hand, with traditional tools and materials, we are known for our  exacting and accurate replicas of original works. 

Below you will find links to descriptions of our work as well as to pictures of some of the many kinds of pieces we make.  This site does not represent a catalog, per se.  We generally work to order with our clients to produce pieces particular to their tastes and needs.  While we enjoy the process of working directly with clients in this way, any piece shown here can be ordered as pictured, or with any of a variety of alternative finishes.                                                                  

Thanks for visiting.  If you have questions, you can E-mail us at hotwood@verizon.net,  write to us at Heart of the Wood, c/o Rob Tarule, 79 Lost Nation Rd., Essex Junction, VT 05452, or call us at 802-879-5379 (Rob Tarule - to e-mail Rob directly, click here) or 508-747-1029 (Ted Curtin).
