Branching Out Artistree creates unique handcrafted furnishings which are inspired by nature. The natural form of branches and the beauty of wood slabs combine to make functional art. As founder of Branching Out Artistree, I have been working with wood for 19 odd years & until recently I was making traditional square furnishings. I love the outdoors, and on my many walks I was inspired to find a way to recycle the many fallen branches that littered the ground.
"A creation of beauty is a joy forever"
Artist- Jozsef Kovacs
a custom order for a fellow in Toronto made of Cherrywood
with handcut 3/8 inch Sycamore Chess Square Inlays and Bloodwood Backgammon
Inlays,
It has Swiveling Aromatic Cedar Piece Pockets for the discs, dice and
chessmen
When I used some of the branches as table legs, I noticed the table was very sturdy, naturally balanced and aesthetically pleasing. They seemed to take on their own personality.
The surfaces of my furnishings
are hardwood slabs up to 2 inches thick consisting of oak, beech, walnut,
cherry, ash and other local hardwoods that are slowly dried to prevent
cracking. They are finely sanded to reveal the natural grains and colors
of each piece. Sealer is then applied before the final finishes which
are shelac or oil.
Out on a limb

finance recovering cancer patients.
Hi Joe, thanks for generosity.
We love the work we see on your website as well as what we saw at the
fall Cottage Life Show. We appreciate you being so willing to donate a
cribbage table for our art auction, with this donation it will help generate
