Leah Houghtaling was born a humble acorn in the rolling Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts. Despite the rocky land and poor soil, she grew into a strong oak tree and put down her roots in Trumansburg, NY in 2000. There began her love affair with wood.

Leah is a whirlwind of new ideas and projects. She thrives on change and creating art. Her favorite line is "I've got this great idea....” She spends an extraordinary amount of time staring at raw pieces of wood, waiting for them to speak to her (not that she hears voices or anything, honest). In each piece that Leah creates, she explores the natural lines and contours of the wood and lets the wood come alive with textures, lines, colors and shadows.

Leah works closely with her clients to build custom furniture and functional art that is just right for them in their home or business. She uses sustainably harvested local wood and non-toxic finishes whenever possible. When you commission Leah to build what you need, you will receive a high-quality beautiful and functional piece, with an original design every time.
