Julie and Mitch Bray comprise Sawyer Bee. Julie is a designer for a living and former furniture maker turned weaver. Mitch is the stay at home father / woodworker responsible for all things not soft and fluffy. Sawyer Bee started with the birth of our daughter, Sawyer. Up to that point we had been making custom furniture as Solidio. Sawyer Bee was our response to the plethora of disposable, made in China plastic junk that has become the standard of childhood toys and furniture. We believe in the Seven Generations philosophy. Every purchase we make is a statement about what we want the world to look like for our daughter. Your strongest voice is not your vote, your strongest voice is your wallet.
Anyway... We've branched out. Recently we've been focusing on weaving and weaving accessories. We still do children's furniture and toys as it is something we believe is important. I'm working on that section of our site, bear with me.
We are located in Ypsilanti, Michigan which is right next to Ann Arbor and about 20 miles west of Detroit. We don't have a store front or shop or some commercial work space. We do everything out of our home. We believe in fairness. Purchasing something from us is purchasing a relationship. We are the developer / manufacturer / marketing / and sales. Our pricing reflects the lack of a middleman, but also reflects our commitment to quality. Quality of design and quality of execution is our focus and we won't compromise. We can sometimes be slow. We have very little inventory and most orders are custom made. Sometimes things happen, equipment breaks or someones not feeling well. We will work to meet your needs, just let us know.
Thanks for looking,
Mitch, Julie & Sawyer Bray
