About Wood Thumb:
Wood Thumb is the vision of two brothers, Christopher and David Steinrueck, who set out to make a living by building beautifully designed products that embody sustainability, craftsmanship, and ingenuity. It is a company of ongoing experiments. The perfect blend of entrepreneurial makers and designers, with a kick of cowboy innovation creating beautifully designed products that make life better - and a little more fun.
Their design aesthetic mixes rustic with contemporary minimalism and the beauty of reclaimed wood. From blending materials like wood and metal to combining traditional techniques with modern tools -- they find ways to bring a fresh take to everyday products. It’s for the urban woodsman inside you. It's for the contemporary craft beer lover, or high tech aficionado with the antique desk. It’s for the people who love those people. And it’s for people who just love unique and unexpected products.
They are passionate about wood – especially wood with character. They use reclaimed redwood, old bourbon barrel staves, birdseye maple that had been hiding in a storage locker for years...and anything else that has a story. They breathe new life into old wood, yet each product still shows hints of its previous life. You can tell from the grooves to the colors -- It’s like honoring the past and giving it a new life in the present.
