What Timber & Ash Designs does

Timber & Ash Designs, LLC is a privately held, founder-operated custom furniture maker domiciled in Thompson, North Dakota. Founded around 2019 by Jacob Barney after rekindling a family woodworking tradition, the company is run by a two-person core team (Jacob as designer-builder and Aubrey as CEO/CFO) supported by roughly five total employees, with no external investors or funding rounds disclosed. The business operates on a direct-to-consumer model, selling exclusively through a BigCommerce-powered e-commerce website and shipping nationwide.

The product portfolio centers on handcrafted premium hardwood furniture — live edge dining and coffee tables, epoxy river tables, benches, and wall art — built from globally sourced species including walnut, white oak, ash, cedar, maple, monkey pod, and burr oak. Prices range from $399 for smaller benches and boards to $5,499 for signature live edge pieces like the Red River of the North table, with custom commissions priced on a quote basis. Charcuterie boards ($45-$80) and cutting boards serve as lower-ticket entry points with bulk discounts, while a full custom-table service captures higher-margin bespoke work.

The company monetizes through one-time sales of both pre-designed SKUs and quote-based commissions, with fixed shipping costs of $99-$1,000. Customer acquisition relies on organic social (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest), a content blog, and an email newsletter rather than paid or wholesale channels. There are no retail storefronts, no enterprise customers, and no disclosed revenue, indicating a small-scale, bootstrapped lifestyle business with a regional brand identity but national fulfillment.
