Gathering inspiration from the unique character of hardwood, AgainstTheGrain Woodworking embraces the boldness that is Live Edge wood and creates one of a kind furniture and home décor to accent any home, office, or co-working space. We promise that each hand-crafted piece showcases the natural characteristics of the Live Edge slabs used to truly unlock the beauty within which presents itself once placed in your desired space.

In our efforts, we not only use high quality Live Edge slabs, we focus on the life span of the wood starting with where it is sourced. We mainly build with wood locally sourced from the state of Indiana, with an emphasis on wood that ended its lifespan in a natural way. Once cut, the wood is then set to dry for a certain period of time until it is ready to be used for woodworking (known as "Kiln Dry"). It is at this time that we come in and hand-select each slab based on grain patterns, curves and knots, and imperfections - natures perfect balance. These aspects provide the landscape for each design and invoke the inspiration to take something from its raw form and turn it into a piece of furniture just as unique as you.
