Artisanal pieces designed to bring the land and sea into your home.
Everything has a story. Our commitment to sustainably and ethically sourced lumber brings out the most from our pieces. Born and shaped by the California coast, like us.
Saved from the wood chipper.
We source our trees from local construction sites, landslides, and roadways. Too often beautiful, character rich, old growth trees fall and are cast aside as another piece of refuse. Our approach to sourcing material ensures that our products are created with minimal environmental impact and maximum quality. Using well sourced and reclaimed wood provides a unique character to each piece that can’t be replicated.
With a focus on quality craftsmanship and eco-conscious materials, we take pride in delivering furniture that embodies both style and sustainability.

Who we are.
Born and raised by mountains and sea.
SALT AND SAWDUST is a small team of like minded individuals based in Santa Cruz California.
Meet lead carpenter Ted Fehn.
Growing up in the Santa Cruz Mountains young Ted befriended the local carpenters and started helping on the job site while he was still in elementary school. It was during those years he discovered a passion that would shape his life. With each carefully chiseled edge and meticulously crafted joint, his love for woodworking only deepened.
Throughout his work Ted has had an appreciation for the beauty of character rich wood. The unique aspects of each tree is brought to life in his pieces. As Ted says, “If you like to cook with the best meat, you go hunting. That’s kind of how I am with trees.”
