Walker Creek Furniture Table With Milk Wash Finish

How Walker Creek furniture is made
We use mortise-and-tenon joinery instead of dowels, and smooth our boards with a hand plane rather than a belt sander. We use only solid wood, no chip-board or veneer. While most furniture is finished with a sprayed-on polyurethane or colored lacquer, we finish every piece by hand using linseed oil, shellac and milk paint, just like 18th century furniture, so the surface feels as good as it looks.

Walker Creek Furniture Essex Ma Video Part I

Katherine Shows Us Whats Going On In The Yellow Joint On 133

Walker Creek Furniture Custom Furniture And Art

The name on the building is Walker Creek Furniture, but as far as I’m concerned it ought to be Walker Creek Art because all of the furniture in there to me is more than just furniture, they are individual pieces of beauty and style-Art if you will.

Look for the first part of the two part video at 10:00AM

 

Antique Pine Table From Walker Creek Furniture In Essex, Ma

At Walker Creek Furniture, the team creates unique or custom tables and furniture using wood that comes from old houses, floorboards and other places.  Each piece has it’s own history and beauty.  The thing that is really cool is that you can go in there for inspiration, see something you like and then tell them that you like it but might want a different finish, size or dimension and they can custom build it to the specs that fit the needs of your particular room.  Video number one from Walker Creek comes tomorrow morning at 10:00AM

By looking at the large sign on the building you might think that it’s just a furniture shop.  Nope.  It’s so much more with some fantastic art including some work by The Mrs’ favorite artist.  You’ll see in the second part of the video interview later this week.

 

Walker Creek Furniture

How many times have you driven past this building in Essex and wondered what’s inside?  The building is in Essex, on the left hand side just before you get to downtown Essex when coming from Gloucester on 133.  Look for the two part interview and video tour inside later this week.  It’s a local treasure you won’t want to miss.

Where Zat, Frank and Paul?

dsc_6693-open-full Joey remembered where   that sign is. If I hadn’t taken the photo yesterday, I wouldn’t have known.  One of those things you just don’t notice. And my son who delivers there everyday for Ocean Crest didn’t recognize it either!

Essex Barn

Joey has been posting the barn-raising process on 133 in Essex. I rode by the other day and saw the near finished building. Cows in the field, beautiful fence – feels real old timey.
