This rustic Tennessee sign is constructed from pallet and reclaimed wood and is easily wall-mounted.  While skillfully cutting the piece by hand, the nail holes and other carpentry nicks and imperfections were purposefully included to provide character to the piece and show the history of the wood.  The “home” design has been intricately burned into the wood with a handheld burner.  Makes a great gift!

Crystal Parker is a local artisan who lives in middle Tennessee where she’s been honing her woodworking craft since 2007. Crystal grew up in rural west Tennessee where she spent her childhood years playing at her father’s feet on the sawdust covered floor in the shed behind her family’s home.   It was from watching and helping her father shape and manipulate wood to create and fix numerous items that Crystal’s love for woodworking first began.  

Nearly a decade ago, Crystal began transforming her own outdoor space into a cozy wood shop where she creates a variety of handmade products including children’s toys, detailed birdhouses, wine racks, adirondack chairs, and wall art/hangings.  For her projects, Crystal uses reclaimed lumber and scrap wood that has otherwise been deemed as trash.

Crystal lives in Nashville and is a Social Worker for the State of Tennessee.
