Ojai native Brett Cunningham has spent over 30 years working with wood sculptures and collecting one-of-a-kind metal antiques. His passion for wood sculpting and furniture making started back in the early 1990’s, when he started his own tree care company. When he realized how many beautiful old trees were only being used for firewood, he felt it was his purpose to give these trees new life. His first experience was in Westlake Village, California, where he was contracted to remove a historical oak tree. Knowing this oak tree would be considered nothing more than scraps, he saw the new life that could be created from this tree. From there he cut, cured, and sanded this majestic oak, leading to the creation of his first pieces of solid wood furniture. Keeping his passion for reviving forgotten trees at the forefront of everything he designs, Brett continues to create gorgeous, unique pieces of wood furniture and sculptures, coupled with his never-ending passion for building his museum of antiques for everyone to enjoy. 

Brett is currently mentoring a team of four woodworkers, our in-house BC Art Team, as they continue to design, create, and execute beautiful sculptures and smaller wood items. Be sure to look for more of these gorgeous pieces by the art team as you view our available pieces on our website.
