All about Us!

So named for the creek that supplied water to the Michigan Tanning and Extract Company back in the 1900's. It still slowly wanders it's way through the hills and hardwoods of beautiful rural Northern Michigan. The tannery and most of the landmarks are long gone now....but the pride, craftmanship and honesty still thrive among the people of the area. Like my family before me - it is my duty to create the best quality product at the best price possible. I am happy to help you build heirlooms and memories.

Our Personalization





Personalization is our speciality - creating handcrafted custom made one-of-a-kind heirloom pieces. So it is no surprise that each heirloom product we make comes with an inscription of your choice. You can provide us with the words for your loved ones -or we can put our creative minds together and write something for you. Either way, we take pride in customizing something that is just for YOU!

Our Cribs



The Grace
This was our first crib and still is our flagship children's product. Made from solid White Oak and stained to match her changing table this crib is meant to last a life time. Like all of our cribs, this one converts first to a toddler bed and then down the road to a double bed. The front side pushes down to provide an easier reach in to tuck your babies in at night.

The Isaac
The Daxton


The Maddie Rose

Likely this will be the biggest investment you make early in your young child's life - so why not make it extra special by being handcrafted. All of our cribs are made by hand from hardwoods - either Maple or Oak - and tested against heavy weight, jumping and climbing! We currently have 4 styles to choose from but if you have another style in mind - we can likely make it too! Stained to match any changing table.

Our Toys

Building toys is one of our greatest passions! Seeing a child's face light up when they receive such a beautiful gift is the best reward!

The Art Center
This thing is all purpose! It has a dry erase board that is magnetic and comes complete with a paper spool for all kinds of creative projects.


Our Heirloom Chests





This one-of-a-kind knotty pine cedar chest is over 21 years old and currently holds many special memories - including a preserved wedding dress. It is fully lined in cedar and boasts a beautiful keepsake box for all lifes little hidden treasures. It has been moved across the country many times and has more than proven our products can stand the test of time!

The Terri
