Deadwood Revival Design’s workshop
Deadwood Revival Design is custom wood furniture company located in San Luis Obispo, CA, focused on craftsmanship and sustainability. They make beautiful, heirloom quality furniture from wood that has been harvested locally because of disease, structural instability, insects and fire damage, and drought. Because Deadwood Revival creates their amazing furniture from less than perfect pieces of wood (battle scars make the character of the wood and the character is what makes it interesting and beautiful, says Founder Daniel Torres), they use our AeroMarine Products 300/21 Epoxy Resin to bring functionality to the piece by filling in cracks, dents, and holes.
They do everything in-house, tree and log removal, milling, drying the wood, woodworking, and steel fabrication. Because of this, every piece that comes out of Deadwood Revival Design has been crafted with incredible attention to detail and care.

The driving forces behind Deadwood Revival Design is Daniel Torres, Founder/Sawyer/Furniture Craftsman, Jose Sanchez, Founder/Metal Craftsman/Designer and Mitch McCormick, Owner/Metal Craftsman/Furniture Craftsman/Sawyer.

Danny showed me around their workshop, which is a magnificently organized with an amazing array of wood slabs, projects in various stages of progress, metal work, and tools galore. Outside is parked a custom modified truck trailer for hauling logs and trees back to the workshop. Homeowners often call about fallen trees on their property that they would like to donate or have turned into furniture so the truck is a pretty important part of Deadwood Revival Design’s operation.

Here’s a brief story that really captures what’s so special about Deadwood Revival Design, in Mr. Torres’ own words; “We were contacted by a homeowner that had a tree removed from her property. The crazy thing about this tree is that the house was built around it. Unfortunately it started to die due to disease, so (the homeowner) had to make the the tough choice of having it removed. (They) contacted us and asked if we would mill some logs she had saved and build her a table from the tree since it meant so much to her. Took three months but we got the job done and it turned out AMAZING! The wood had a lot of cracks so it was a great opportunity to showcase our resin skills!”

In addition to offering beautiful, functional furniture, Deadwood Revival Design includes a USB drive with pictures and/or video of the piece being made, so you can enjoy the entire process from start to finish. They guys at Deadwood truly enjoy their work and the connection to nature that it affords and want their customers to share in that connection as well.

Danny and everyone at Deadwood believe it’s important to give back to nature because nature gives us all so much.
