BoughMade is a one-person shop out of Augusta, Georgia. Andrea sources, shapes, and finishes every piece by hand. Parker, her dog, serves as creative director and quality inspector — mostly the latter, from a comfortable position on the floor.
Parker is a dog. Specifically, a dog with strong opinions about where to lie down — which turns out to be everywhere Andrea is working. He's been present for every piece BoughMade has ever made. The name stuck because so did he.
Bark on some pieces, smooth on others. That was originally Parker's preference. Now it's a customer option.
Andrea sources from storm-felled trees, cleared land, and forest floors around Augusta. The piece begins with the wood, not a design drawing — the tree's form shapes what gets built.
Every log is studied before the chainsaw starts. Where are the interesting branch joints? What does the grain do near a knot? The first cuts follow the wood's natural structure, not a template.
Rough shaping, leveling, joinery if needed. Bark decisions happen here. The base and top are matched for grain character, not just species — they should look like they came from the same tree, because often they did.
Oil or satin finish, hand-applied. No spray guns, no shortcuts. The goal is a surface that protects the wood without hiding it. What arrives at your door looks exactly the way the tree looked inside.
We don't impose a shape. The branch pattern, the trunk diameter, the way the wood grew — those are the design. We reveal what was already there.
No production line. No subcontractors. Every BoughMade table was touched by exactly one pair of hands from source to finish. If you ask who made it, there's a name: Andrea.
Hardwood from hundred-year-old trees, finished to last another hundred. This isn't decor you replace. It's furniture you explain to people who ask about it.
Tell Andrea what you're imagining — wood species, size, bark preference, the space it's going into. Every piece starts with a conversation.
