Rustic ReUse is a custom woodworking business in Newburyport, Massachusetts, run by Bruce Martin, working with reclaimed timber. In 2018, local news described him as a vendor with a workshop who makes custom farm tables, hall trees, and benches. The one written review on file, from 2018, calls Bruce one of the finest artisan woodworkers around, describing custom pieces made from 200-year-old reclaimed wood — a counter shelf above a kitchen laundry area and floating industrial-style shelving using the same old timber. Google shows a 5-star rating from a single rating. Houzz also lists the business under Furniture & Accessories at an Amesbury, MA address, though that listing carries no description, rating, or reviews of its own. For a homeowner looking for custom reclaimed-wood furniture or shelving, the one review on hand is glowing but now several years old — worth reaching out directly to confirm current availability and see recent work.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Rustic ReUse. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
A day rate replaces the task list — usually the better deal once the list gets long.

“Bruce Martin of Rustic Reuse, a vendor with a workshop there, will make any custom farm table, hall trees and benches”
Bruce is one of the finest artisan woodworkers around. He has made a few custom pieces for me out of 200 year old reclaimed wood. One was a 2” counter shelf above my kitchen laundry. Another project was floating industrial style shelving with the same style old reclaimed timber and pipe fixtures. He helped me design the entire project based on my vision. I’ve also bought a few antique pieces from his showroom at Mill77. Outstanding personality and fair prices for his quality work.
