Dead Tree Legacy turns wood into pieces for the home, and some of that work is built into the house itself. A 2024 customer said John built a natural wood bannister for their lake house, was easy to work with and tweaked the plan as needed. A 2024 customer wrote that John's custom trim for their new windows "came out great!" Much of the woodwork is smaller. A 2025 customer said John made a custom cribbage board for the reviewer's wife's birthday. A 2025 customer bought coasters and liked the idea of using deadfall to make home accessories. A 2025 customer found the business at a pop up in Peterborough and bought a trivet. A 2024 customer said the work was prompt and well done and that they would hire them again.
John made a custom cribbage board for my wife for her birthday. It’s great! We use it every day!
I was in need of some coasters and thrilled to come across these sleek but simple ones from Dead Tree Legacy. They are durable and are well suited for all beverages. Plus, I really like the concept of using deadfall to sustainably create useful (and might I add, beautiful!) home accessories. Kudos to the artisans at Dead Tree Legacy. I look forward to making future purchases for my home from them!
John makes beautiful work. I ordered a cutting board for my husband for his birthday about six months ago and we have been using it ever since almost every day. It is beautiful and well made!
I stumbled on Dead Tree Legacy purely by accident at a pop up in Peterborough, and immediately loved the vibe! I ended up purchasing a trivet which I love to use on my table to elevate my decor or flowers!
John built a natural wood bannister for our lake house. He was easy to work with, made sure he understood our needs and tweaked the plan as needed. His work is meticulous, he has a great sense of what works and he is very skilled. We recommend him without reservation.
