Northfield Mills was founded by the current owner's grandfather as a millworks supplying replacement chair-spindles to small Vermont towns. Today it is a third-generation workshop of fourteen — still milling its own timber, still air-drying its stock for two winters before cutting.

"Worth the wait"
The hand-feel is rare. Even guests who know nothing about furniture notice it.
We have a 14-month-old and the surface has not chipped. The oil scratches out.
"Drawn to the wall"
The lead time is real — sixteen weeks. Worth every day. Will commission again.
"A keeper"
We have a 14-month-old and the surface has not chipped. The oil scratches out.
"Worth the wait"
It is heavier than I expected and that is the point. It sits where it sits.
