Custom Handcrafted Wood Furniture & Doors in Tucson
Since 1995, Taber & Company & Company has been dedicated to transforming reclaimed hardwoods into bespoke furniture, doors, cabinetry, and millwork. Our artisans employ time-honored techniques, including proprietary staining and waxing methods, to highlight the natural beauty of materials like mesquite, pecan, and walnut. With a focus on sustainability, we source wood from naturally fallen or salvaged trees, ensuring each project reflects both environmental responsibility and unmatched craftsmanship. Our team collaborates with architects and designers nationwide to deliver custom solutions for luxury homes and resorts, such as The Cloister Resort and Spa. By integrating hand-forged iron hardware and avoiding automation, we preserve the authenticity of old-world carpentry while meeting modern functional needs. Our work spans diverse architectural styles, from Spanish Colonial to Mountain Living, and includes intricate details like dovetail joinery and hand-carved moldings.Each piece is crafted entirely by hand in Arizona, embodying a commitment to quality that has earned recognition from Phoenix Home & Garden. We specialize in creating one-of-a-kind elements that harmonize with a home's design, from massive 33-foot mesquite bars to custom entry doors with ornate ironwork. Our process begins with on-site milling, allowing precise selection of slabs to match grain patterns and achieve unique textures. This dedication to craftsmanship extends to outdoor furniture, fireplace mantels, and integrated cabinetry that conceal modern appliances. With decades of experience, we continue to push the boundaries of traditional woodworking, ensuring every project exceeds expectations through meticulous attention to detail.
