WHF Blog

I am always amused, while thumbing through a fashion magazine, when I read headlines that declare that "Red Lips/Polka Dots/Black Pants are BACK!"  Well, thank goodness!   Am I the only person that didn't know they were gone?

Even if you do not follow fashion, there are some things that are simply classic.  The color black definitely falls into that category.   As I was laughing at the revelation that black pants were FINALLY back in style, it dawned on me that there were a lot of orders leaving our doors lately with black leather panels.  Maybe there was something to this black thing...

So this blog is dedicated to all the gorgeous black leather accented furniture that we have created, and all the super trendy designers and retailers who know style when they see it!

Our classic Whatchamacallit combines rustic with sleek black leather. The Bartlett legs can be modern or rustic, making this a very versatile piece. 

If the rustic Ghostwood is not your style, Western Heritage will also make furniture out of Alder, such as this buffet.  The wood is stained our standard Coffee finish, and Pewter tacks pop off of the black leather panels.

The Signature Cocktail Table looks dapper in black.  I could see this with a contemporary red leather sofa, cow hide or Navajo Rug, and neutral walls and floor.  Statement piece for sure!

Custom "Cowboy" corners were added to this piece for a Western Bedroom. 

Last but not least, one of my favorite pieces to come out of the factory lately were two of these custom-sized buffets with black leather panels and Hammered Zinc tacks.  The end result was simply stunning. 

When it comes fashion and furniture, trends can be fun, but CLASSIC is always in style!

This is the second of four videos of the "Evolution of a Pool Table". In the video you begin to get a good sense of what the final table is going to look like. It shows what the old hand hewn oak looks like with the fine sanding and lacquer finish applied. Our unique Cayonland Copper corner details are installed on the table legs. The finely carved leather rails and leg panels created by renowned tooler Phillip Smith. Noah Pfeffer is the well known jeweler responsible for the hand cut turquoise sites set in silver bezels. He is also the craftsman who made the refined silver Western Heritage logo set into the end rail. I incorporated seven deferent species of wood throughout the the pool table. I used 200+ year old oak for the super structure, walnut on the top rails, poplar for the sub rails, reclaimed rosewood for the rail edge caps, 100+ year old pine barn siding for the rail aprons and 80+ year old douglas fir for the raised panels in the tables skirt. I believe the marriage of all these different woods along with the tooled leather, jewelery quality sites and professional grade felt form a perfect union.
