Samuel Moyer Furniture

Sam Moyer’s prowess with wood is evident by the absence of screws, nails, and metal in his hand-made modern pieces. You can also admire him for infusing his furniture with the raw beauty of conscience as he works primarily with reclaimed and surplus lumber from restoration projects. All the wood he uses has a rich and lengthy history, so it’s no wonder that pieces emerge as the result of deep intimacy with the antique timbers he shapes into one-of-a-kind furniture. À La carte new works include the three-legged Joe and Peg Chairs. The middle spindle pierces the steam bent Ash embracing the remaining Black Walnut stems that create the back. Ash legs bond precisely with Cherry seats through wedge mortise and tenon joints. His commissioned sculptures of Slice Tables are improvisations, shaped with the rough-hewn emotion of a chainsaw and really long drill bit. Tripod stools of varying heights are made individually unique by entirely salvaged woods such as Black Locust, Spalted Maple, Reclaimed Red Oak and Teak, among others. With such triumphs of craftsmanship and engineering, relish the invitation to treasure the prior lives of this master craftsman’s asymmetrical, imperfect and unique woodwork while appreciating what they have become.
