Rustic Furniture by Log Artisan Duane Shoup

	Wildwood Rustic Furnishings of Minnesota was established by Duane Shoup in 1979. Duane produces one-of-a-kind rustic furniture with a natural appeal. He is a highly skilled craftsman influenced by Adirondack, Shaker, and Mission Style wood furniture. His inspirations come from nature and other artisans such as Sam Maloof, George Nakashima, and Daniel Mack. Duane's rustic furniture studio and lumber mill is ideally located in Minnesota's north woods near Itasca State Park.
Duane creates rustic wood furniture such as rocking chairs, tables, dining room sets, computer desks, beds, bookcases, and deck furniture. He specializes in design with one-of-a-kind wood that only nature creates. Each piece of log, twig, or bentwood furniture uses lumber hand selected from Minnesota forests. Duane uses renewable wood (oak, ash, cherry, walnut, maple, pine) as well as downed woods with beautiful spalting -- featuring color and figured grain that only nature can produce. Every piece if wood is hand-selected then processed in Duane's own lumber mill. He has complete control of the quality from the forest to the final form.
