About
Meet me, Nate Lamb — owner, designer, and maker of Woolly Furniture.
Mission over Money
I like to say I am a "Maker for Makers". I am not looking to make huge profits, or turn into a major production shop.
I am looking to simply enjoy and refine my craft and share the benefits of craft with others.
---
I enjoy having my products be both functional and beautiful but also have meaning and substance.
---
I invite you to join in the journey however that fits you:
If you are a woodworker and want to chat, reach out, I would love that.
If you want to learn woodworking, I would love to share my journey and knowledge and help you on yours -- see classes.
If you are a Scandinavian design enthusiast, awesome, would love to chat with you too.

Meet the Maker
The beginnings: I started Woolly Furniture with the goal of creating furniture, that will inspire the people around them towards beauty and community. At that time, only had rough construction experience, and a hope to learn how to build furniture.
Design Style: I have a special interest in Danish/Scandinavian design (it is my heritage after all). I have been inspired by the line work of Arne Vodder, Victor Wilkins, Adrian Pearsall, Dieter Rams, and others.
My Mantra: I believe that the ability to take something that is only in the mind and make it into art, literature, or simply a tangible good, is a gift. Crafting is something that is important to humanity and should be given the proper time and space.
About me: I live in Fort Collins, CO with my two kids. I enjoy playing with my kids, gardening, philosophy, I want to be a deep reader (but that rarely happens), and I enjoy learning about pretty much anything.

Yes, I take a few new or custom designs each year. I work along side you to design a new product line of which you receive the first build of the line. If that is of interest please reach out to nate@woollyfurniture.com or the contact form.
Yes, I ship within the continental United States. The rates that you see are what it typically costs me to ship.
Build time on current product lines can be between 6 to12 weeks.
I only ship to the continental united states and typically I can ship an already-made product out in 2-3 weeks, there is about 1-2 week in transportation time.
Local pick-up can happen usually within a week.
Custom Orders or determined once the design process is finalized. This can be anywhere from 6weeks to 6 months.

Cleaning:
A mild soap-and-water solution is all you need. Avoid highly acidic cleaners like vinegar or lemon and any abrasive pad — they’re tough on any finish. If you prefer a product, I recommend Rubio Monocoat Soap.
Stains:
If there is sitting wine, it can cause a tannin stain this a reaction within the wood or sometime a stubborn water ring or coffee stain. There is a cleaner that can remove it called Rubio Monocoat Tannin Remover. Again if spills are cleaned up right away, there is generally no staining that occurs.
Re-Oiling:
If you want to stay ahead of wear and keep the sheen, you can re-oil the top every 1–2 years. Just clean the surface well and apply Osmo Polyx-Oil Satin (3043), you just a poly a thin coat, let it sit for 10 minutes, then buff it completely off almost like it dry (there are plenty of YouTube video on this). To be honest, I only do this on my own furniture every three years or so, and my house gets plenty of use with kids and dogs.
All of the furniture is designed in-house by me (Nate Lamb). All designs are original, though like everything we are a product of our environment and I study a lot of different Scandinavian designers. 😀
You are truly supporting small businesses when purchasing from me -- it is just me :). I working out of my 4 car garage. So thank you!
