About Us
For over 20 years, Andy & Aaron Sanchez have been creating award winning, one-of-a-kind Western cowboy furniture using alligator juniper wood with inlays of turquoise, coral and marble.
Andy and Aaron have developed a method of marrying two book matched pieces of wood, turning them into one large sturdy and flowing piece. The process of book matching the pieces is the first step in the artistic process. Once two pieces have been matched, the process of incorporating other natural and graceful elements begins. There is no blueprint or plan which is followed, the individual personality of the wood takes the creative lead. Andy and Aaron allow the character of the wood to guide them in the natural design process. The swirling grain, rough knots and imperfections give the wood its innate beauty, and the Sanchez's bring the wood up to another level. They integrate a variety of mediums into the grain of the wood to bring out the spirit of the wood and enhance its natural and gracious appeal.
The Sanchez' use jewelry grade semi-precious stones including turquoise, azurite, Chilean lapis, and Russian soap stone, as well as ammonites, fossils, coral and silver in their inlays. After days of sanding, the finished product is soft to the touch and gleams with innate beauty once it is oiled. The live edge of the wood is left intact, and stands out in stark contrast to the brilliance of the finished surface.
Andy and Aaron's innovative approach to furniture design has been copied by many other wood workers, but Andy and his sons bring an artistic talent and originality which makes their work excel and increase in value year after year.
