Steel & Grain Custom Works

Steel & Grain Custom Works Hand built, custom designed furniture combining steel and locally sourced wood. I love making proje All materials are sourced locally.

My day job is a REALTOR at Russell Boyt Real Estate Group and helping clients buy, sell and invest in real estate in the Columbia area. www.LiveLoveMissouri.com

Steel & Grain Custom Works started as a hobby making unique furniture for clients as gifts. I have always loved modern architecture and furniture and found I had a knack for learning the techniques to make pieces for myself combining stee

l & wood. As my experience and shop has expanded, I started making additional pieces to sell as a means to raise & donate money for local non-profits. I volunteer for medical mission trips with Global First Responder, a local Columbia Non-Profit/NGO providing international medical relief around the world. Please check out www.GlobalFirstResponder.com

Volunteers on all GFR missions must fund travel for themselves, the proceeds donated directly to GFR are used to purchase supplies and materials. In 2016 I traveled to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in October of 2017, we are heading to a remote region in Nepal that was devastated by an earthquake in 2015. I hope to volunteer on many future return missions to the Congo, Nepal and the upper Amazon as well. Steel & Grain Custom Works makes modern furniture with a twist. By locally, I mean the trees are logged and cut down, in most cases personally and here in Mid-MO. They are milled at outdoor/backyard/hidden sawmills in the fall then dried and processed in my basement for months and sometimes years. I am addicted to live edge pieces with character, AKA: knots, holes, burl, spalting and splits. The live edge is just that, the wood is slab cut with the bark/natural edge left on. After the wood has dried, the bark is removed but the surface below is left in tact. No two pieces are the same and most steel frame bases are custom designed to compliment an irregular shape. Contact me for details on current pieces available, some are on display at the RBRE office on 10th Street. Others are in various stages of completion.

It's fundraising time! This Live Edge 2.5" Pecan coffee table is available and on display at Berkshire Hathaway - 22 North 8th in downtown Columbia. Funds from the sale of this will go towards an upcoming GFR trip to Peru in January.

Here is a link with more info: www.globalfirstresponder.org/volunteer/russell-boyt-peru/

The goal in Peru will be conducting a small medical clinic in a remote village and building a new medical supply depot that can be used throughout the year by other groups to help assist and serve the remote region. In March of 2019, AmazonPromise.org has partnered with the Western Michigan School of Medicine and will be conducting multiple clinics in different villages using this new supply depot as their logistical hub.

Sanding and more sanding. Getting ready to pour some epoxy and router out the steel base plates. This spalted pecan coffee table has been 3 years in the making. Can't wait to show the pics from a log at the sawmill to the finished piece of furniture.

Came to a favorite honeyhole sawmill to pick up some walnut and finish the office coffee bar project. Fell in love with this giant live edge slab and really, really, really want to bring it home. &GrainCustomWorks
