What makes History in the Making different?  The History is in the Making!

In the making of some creations, reclaimed exotic woods are utilized from various parts of the world, taking you to another place upon viewing its unique character. you can view the <a href=”http://lindastraub.com/wood”>wood types</a> page to see the types of reclaimed woods available for use. Other times,  repurposed Old Barn wood with over a century of history and untold stories embodied within the grain is used. Recycled and vintage jewelry, as well as random findings collected can be made into a renewed creation that is truly unique.  Each piece is handmade in the USA and one of a kind.  With History in the Making you are not only getting a unique handcrafted keepsake , but you can connect with the significance of the creation, for you to keep or share with someone else.

What’s YOUR History in the Making?

Custom creations can be made with YOUR personal items made of many different materials including wood, beach glass, hardware, old costume jewelry, wine corks, rifle casings ect. ~ Think outside the box, the possibilities are endless! (see our custom orders page for examples).    The custom piece created for you, using your own personal items, will give you a one of a kind, meaningful keepsake to cherish for years to come.

Handmade in the USA

These handmade creations are supporting small business in our country!  Some day America’s original barns will be extinct and some day many of the exotic woods we enjoy will be untouchable.These handmade creations are preserving a piece of the past for years to come.  How much more meaningful is it to have something  that you can connect with in some way rather than something everyone else has that is made in China?

Earth Friendly!

We are doing our best to try and care for the earth that we have been blessed with. By encouraging people to reuse things they might have to repurpose into new creations, less is ending up in landfills. Each item we create incorporates reclaimed pieces of nature or  items that would have other wise been discarded or useless, thus decreasing waste and supporting recycling and reusing.
