Handcrafted With Heart,

Designed for Life.

Custom reclaimed barnwood and hardwood furniture, built by hand in Tennessee.

At Kickin Up Dust Woodworks, every piece is built by hand by Ralph Knutson — U.S. Air Force Veteran and master craftsman — using reclaimed barnwood and premium hardwoods like oak, maple, and hickory to create the perfect piece.
