From the Forty, LLC - was established in 2004. We specialize in making rustic log furniture made from white cedar that is harvested from our forty acres of woodlands. We saw almost all the wood we use with our own sawmill. Our showroom had been located in the Southern portion of the Door Peninsula in Wisconsin in a little town called Maplewood. In the fall of 2015 we had an opportunity to move our showroom into the heart of Door County in the Village of Egg Harbor and took that opportunity. Our showroom is now located at the Main Street Shops at 7828 State Hwy 42, Egg Harbor WI. We are located in Building 2 of the shopping complex Suite D & E by the entrance of Studio One Stained Glass and next to Details Hair Salon. Our giftshop specializes in Door County Souvenirs, gifts, home décor and not only our hand made items but also items by other local craftsman.
My wife and I got into making rustic furniture through my grandfather. When my Grandfather retired he started making and selling log benches and stools that are very similar to the ones you will see here on our site. He got into cedar log flagpoles, fences, and other small rustic items. My Grandpa was always into log and rustic items long before it was considered cool. Unfortunately, my Grandpa developed Lou Gehrig's disease. As his ability to work diminished, he relied on my wife and I to help him complete his orders. We continued to work with him until he was no longer able to do so. My Grandpa passed away in 2000 at the age of 81. We came up with the name From the Forty in honor of my grandfather. Ever since I can remember when he would get ready to head out the woods to go logging he would say "I am going to go get some logs From the Forty". We started our business as a hobby with the skills I had learned from my grandfather. We started selling some of the benches and stools in our front yard and at local farm/craft markets. It got to a point that we couldn't keep up with orders plus hold a full time job. I quit my full time job and started From the Forty LLC full time. Our business has grown considerably over the last few years to not only what you see here but to doing entire households of furniture.
If you have any questions about any of the products drop us a note we would be happy to answer it for you. Also a lot of the items are large in size so are not set up to directly checkout the item. Please drop us a note with your zip code if interested in an item and we will figure out shipping for you. Thanks for shopping with us.
