The Studio
When Tyler was in diapers, his dad was making sawdust in our garage building furniture for their home. So much so, his dog was aptly named "Dusty". They needed a dining table, so his dad built one. Tyler and his brother wanted bunk beds, so he figured out how to make that too.
When Tyler was older, he too started making furniture out of necessity. He needed a dining table, so his dad helped him make one. When Tyler and his wife, Katie, got their house, they had rooms to fill, so Tyler made more and more furniture. With every project grew a love for making things with by hands, an appreciation for good design and craftsmanship, and the satisfaction of knowing that what was made would be used or looked at every day in our home.
It was from that place "Vollick House" was born.
Today, we couldn't be happier making sawdust with our pup, memories with our family, and furniture for our home and yours.
We are very excited to be in our first year of production as "Vollick House." Currently, Tyler is operating as a one-man shop and we're investing everything we make into better machinery to help improve our quality and efficiency.
Our current objective is to build a robust portfolio of furniture designs that we are proud to stand behind and would be happy to make over and over again. Each piece we make is thoughtfully designed and thoroughly documented. Doing so allows us to be more efficient making subsequent pieces, with the goal of keeping prices fair.
With this business model, we do not think of ourselves as a custom furniture shop, nor are we trying to become a mass-production operation. Rather, we are trying to find the middle ground — selling high-quality, made-to-order furniture direct to consumer at a fair price.
Someday we hope to grow enough to build a small team, with the hopes of working with other passionate craftsmen and bringing a few more jobs to Wyoming.

If you're interested in a piece of furniture, we'd love to talk. Whether it's a piece we've made before or something new to add to our collection, we're always open to a conversation. If you're interested in one of our existing designs, we will work with you in order to select the right wood and finish for you and customize any dimensions if need be. On the other hand, when creating new designs, we include you in the design process and treat you as a collaborator. Our main goal with new designs is to design something we would be happy to make again.

Even if you're not interested in a piece right now but find yourself in Lander, Wyoming, we'd love to meet you. Whether it's over coffee or you'd like to come see what we're working on in the shop, we'd love to meet you. One of our favorite parts of making furniture is the connection we feel with those that have one of our pieces in their homes. Customer or not, we love feeling connected to those in our community as well as those passing through.
