We're JT {Milroy} and Shannon {Thorson}; two individuals with a long history in building and historic restoration who've come together in creation of milroythorsoncustom.
Producing out of Sisters and McMinnville, Oregon, we build only pieces we love and feel worthy of thoughtfully curated spaces. We create with wood, steel, stone, concrete and leather.
We're driven by passion and principle when it comes to our work. Much of the material we work with is historic, having been processed in the late 1800's and coming from original old growth forests. The human condition dictates we'll never again process such dense compacted wood, which is premium to anything grown today. Worshipping elements of these old growth trees is how we pay homage to these largely extinct beauties.
We also prioritize working with locally harvested Juniper and are committed to enhancing popularity of its use. Juniper, which is invasive in Central Oregon is a large consumer of water and adversely impacts Central Oregon's water table. The wood is moody, with a tendency to curl as its dried and its expensive to process for a variety of reasons. But once successfully seasoned, its beautiful and each piece of furniture offers evidence of our progress to reduce Juniper's invasion of our water table.
In addition to furniture creation, we're also very active in providing meaningful home elements such as barn doors, custom built-ins and statement beam pieces. Check out some of our work below, read our blog and then give us a call!
How to work with us
Most of what we do is custom and we absolutely love the synergy of working with others. Often we work directly with homeowners and commonly serve in support roles to home decorators, designers and builders. As production allows, we offer some pieces to select retailers.
Please reach out to talk about your next project and/or learn where you can find our retail pieces.
