Rusty Palms Creations is a one-person operation—every piece, every weld, every detail goes through my hands. That means nothing gets lost in translation. There’s no sales team, no middleman, no assembly line. Just direct communication, a tight feedback loop, and the kind of consistency you only get when the person you’re talking to is the same one doing the work.

I've been building custom pieces for over 30 years, starting out in cabinetmaking and evolving into metalworking and beyond. My work has always been driven by the challenge of creating something that works well, looks beautiful and holds up over time. Function comes first, but I never ignore form. When a piece can do its job and look good doing it, that's where the real satisfaction is.

I’ve used CNC machines for years, but these days I lean more toward a hands-on, manual approach. There’s something honest about working directly with the materials— wood, metal and many more—shaping them by eye and by feel. That’s where the character comes from.

I work with , builders, designers and homeowners who want something  different, pieces that aren’t off a shelf, pieces that are designed and handcrafted specifically for them. Just solid, well-made work with a bit of soul.
