Oakhurst Furniture Workshop · Asheville, NC
Furniture for the
next forty years.
Chairs, tables and cabinets in solid North Carolina hardwood, made by five people in a former textile mill on Riverside Drive. No veneer, no flat-pack, no rush.
Most pieces ship in 9 to 12 weeks. We will tell you the real date before you pay.
Marcus Reed, shaping the back legs of a Holloway chair. Each one takes him about two hours.
Why we still do it this way
A good chair should outlive the person who bought it.
So we cut every joint by hand, dry our own white oak for two summers, and finish with oil you can renew on a Sunday afternoon.
It is slower. It costs more up front. It is also the last chair you will buy.
Hannah Oakes, founder. She started the workshop in 2009 with a table saw from a church auction.

How a Holloway chair gets made
Eleven weeks,
six steps.
This column stays put while you read the steps. Same as the chair: it stays put while the glue sets.
01
Choosing the boards
Hannah picks every board at Morgan Lumber in Marion, mostly quartersawn white oak. Anything with a check or a wild grain goes back on the rack.
02
Two summers of drying
The boards sit stickered in our loft for about twenty months, then a week in the kiln to finish. Wood that is dried in a hurry moves later.
03
Cutting the joints
Mortise and tenon for the frame, wedged through-tenons on the back legs. Hand tools for the fitting, a bandsaw for the rough cuts. No screws, no brackets.
04
Shaping and sanding
The back legs and crest rail are shaped with spokeshaves until they feel right in the hand. Sanding goes to 220 grit, then the grain is raised and sanded again.
05
Oil, wax and a week of waiting
Three coats of hardwax oil, a day apart. Then the chair sits in the finishing room for a week before we wrap it, so the oil cures properly.
06
Delivery in our own van
Within 150 miles, two of us bring it, carry it in, level it and take the blankets home again. You get a card with the wood, the maker’s name and how to re-oil it.
Pick your wood
Hold them up
to the light.
Move your pointer across the samples and they tip toward it, the way you would turn a board to read the grain. On a phone they sit still. Samples by mail are free, four to a box.

Nothing we sell is glued to particleboard. Not even the drawer bottoms.
The showroom
Come and sit
in everything.
The front room of the mill is our showroom. Bring the kids, bring a tape measure, and ask to see the workshop. Someone will be covered in sawdust but happy to talk.

“We bought the Riverside table the year our first daughter was born. She is eleven now, it has been drawn on, spilled on and danced on, and Marcus re-oiled it last spring for nothing. It looks better than the day it came.”
Riverside Table, walnut, 84 inches. Bought in May 2015.
