The pictures just don’t do ’em justice… I hear this a LOT! And it’s so true. But hopefully these pics of the doors Justin built for a log ‘cabin’ (yes, one home – 6 doors, 5 different styles & finishes, 8.5 feet tall) will give you a good idea of how beautiful & unique they are.
Need a custom reclaimed sliding door? Or have an idea for a different project? We love custom projects & we ship or deliver & install, depending on location. Get in touch to get started. justin@redroostertradingcompany.com
They say art is exceptional when made with love and hard work and I find this so appropriate when it comes to Red Rooster. I found them on Instagram and got our very first Home Brew Kit and couldn’t NOT fall in love with it. Since then, we have worked on so many customized projects- shelves, old school swing, lazy Susan and without fail, every single product is exceptional and simply beautiful. Personally, I love the raw look in anything. I think that makes things look more real in this busy crazy world. On top of everything, supporting a small local business is one of my top priorities these days and I am so happy that I could do that with you guys. Good luck with everything! Justin is amazing and so is his work :).

A lot of people look at the pile of dirty, some rotten, century old barn boards and just see rubble. Whether he is building a bed, end, sofa, dining or coffee table or adding accents to a wall, Justin looks at the pile and can envision a beautiful piece of furniture. He uses a little bit of elbow grease… well, let’s be honest, those that have worked with reclaimed lumber know that it takes a whole lot of elbow grease. Anyway… the end result is a beautiful, one-of-a-kind, heirloom piece of art. Once he builds a piece of furniture he works his magic with his signature, multi-step finish that enhances the character and makes it silky smooth for easy clean up.
Images below are of a Queen bed he built for a local Bible Grove resident using salvaged wood from their stash, making it all the more special. Their farm has been around since the early 1900s. They don’t use their cattle brand anymore, so to keep the legacy alive we branded their bed. We used the df (Dunn Farms) as well as the date their farm was established (1903). These details along with the axe mark and notches are pretty cool, if you ask me. We love custom & we ship! Shoot us an email to get started. sales@redroostertradingcompany.com
I LOVE my new coffee mill! No more shattering of the morning peace with the electric grinder. I am so pleased with the consistent grind which was why I was searching for a burr grinder in the first place. Not only was I surprised to find a hand crank coffee mill, but I have a great love of fine woodwork, and your price was amazingly reasonable. Thank you. (Camano Coffee Mill)

We are pretty excited and honored to be featured in Southern Cast Iron’s Product Spotlight in the NOV/DEC issue. This is what they have to say about it…
“Thanks to this American-made cast-iron grinder, you can have freshly ground coffee every day. With a small, sturdy build and easy-to-use crank, this handmade device can also be used to grind dried spices such as peppercorns, cinnamon sticks and seeds.”
We like to say, whether it’s coffee beans, peppercorns, cinnamon sticks or seeds… We’ve got your grind!
Your coffee mill arrived on my doorstep. I am at a complete loss for words – it is truly exquisite. I have searched for years for the right one – something functional, not just decorative, that had the appeal of an antique grinder. I am absolutely thrilled with this purchase! THANK YOU.

With so many distractions in the world today it’s hard to concentrate on one thing. Our hand grinder is used as a teaching tool in several Montessori schools across the country. It is engaging and helps with fine motor skills as well as concentrating on a single task. The kids get so excited to be able to not just help, but help independently.
“The Child who concentrates is immensely happy.” ~Maria Montessori
If you’ve never heard of Maria Montessori the founder & creator of the Montessori education system… her story is fascinating. She was born in 1870, paved the way and persevered in her endeavors to become one of the first female Doctors in Italy. She then started noticing children’s learning habits and how they soaked up what they were experiencing. She went on to create the Montessori education system and even now there are Montessori schools all over the world. In fact, my Uncle & Aunt believe in this method in educating our children so much so that they currently live in El Salvador and are working there to train teachers in the Montessori curriculum. They have trained many teachers in person over the years and are also working on training videos so that it will be accessible world wide.
Fun fact… a long time ago in a land far away my dad hand.built furniture and teaching tools for Montessori schools. He sold them all over the USA, we had many a fun family trip to deliver these goods. He & my mom also taught at a Montessori school in Dallas, TX that my Uncle & Aunt founded (and also taught at). Hence my brother, sister & I had several years in Montessori education. A lot of great memories as well as lifelong skills & learning habits came from that time. It’s fun for me to think about carrying on the tradition in our family, in a small way with our hand grinder, that started so long ago with my Uncle, Aunt, dad & mom.
If you are interested in learning more about the Montessori curriculum I’d love to get you in contact with my Uncle & Aunt.
On a random side note, I saw this recently… ‘I don’t like to think of it as Thursday, I like to think of it as Friday Eve.’ ;) So here’s to a Merry Friday Eve.
Remember to #keepgrinding, but don’t ever forget to take a coffee break or two. Even if your ‘coffee break’ doesn’t include coffee. :)
