Wall Decor
Tao & Trout Poetry
We offer a variety of wall decor, including coat hook racks, wall art, candle holders, and more. Each meticulously crafted into a stunning piece to warm your home. So, hang your coats or waders against gorgeous figuring, have a favorite saying or image carved into a beautiful grained backdrop, or watch your candles flicker, casting moving shadows across the wood's textured surface.
We offer a small collection of original Crooked Timber poems written about time spent with nature, in particular rivers, fly fishing, and the northern Michigan woods and wildlife. Many of the poems are influenced heavily by Taoist concepts, especially our collective oneness with nature and our place within it.
The Crooked Timber Way
At Crooked Timber, we strive to showcase nature's exquisite "imperfections" by selecting the most unique timber from across Michigan, then crafting them into heirloom-quality pieces with a minimalist design approach. Our focus is to highlight the gorgeous natural features of the wood, resulting in products that are simply timeless. Our pieces are ideal for adding warmth to any space. As a family run business, our pieces are not mass-produced items stamped out in a factory, with little concern for the characteristics of the wood or finishing method. Instead, we focus on each piece, one at a time, to determine how best to reveal its simplified essence as wonderfully imperfect, or "crooked", timber - knots, nicks, and all.
