Est. 2022 · Made to order
Heirloom wooden furniture and quiet home goods, shaped one piece at a time by a husband and wife at the bench.
— Two pairs of hands
REM Mercantile Co. is the small workshop of a husband and wife — a quiet partnership of saws, planes, and second cups of coffee.
Every table, shelf, and board is drawn, joined, and finished by the two of us. No factory floor. No warehouse. Just slow work, raw wood, and the patience to wait for the grain to tell us where to cut.
Volume I · The collection
A small folio of recent work — photographed, set, and bound like the magazines we keep on the workshop bench.
Plate I · Signage
Hand-lettered · framed in white oak
A quiet centerpiece for the everyday room — lettered by hand, framed in rift-sawn white oak, and finished with a whisper of hardwax oil.
How it's made
Tell us the room, the wood, the way it should feel. We sketch by hand and talk through every detail.
We source domestic hardwoods — walnut, oak, cherry, maple — and let the grain decide the cuts.
Joined the slow way, sanded by hand, finished with hardwax oil. Four to ten weeks, depending on the piece.
We crate, ship, and follow up — and we'll always be here when it needs a touch-up a decade from now.
Commissions open
We take on a small number of commissions each season so we can give each one the time it deserves. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll reply personally with a quote.
