Every item from 85th & Rust is handcrafted from reclaimed wood, which means no two pieces are ever exactly alike — and that’s the point!

Here’s what to expect (and love!) about your piece:

• Unique. Each item varies in tone, texture, and weathering. They’re one-of-a-kinds — just like the spaces you’re decorating.

• Perfectly Imperfect. You may see small cracks, chips, knots, nail holes, and other natural markings. These aren’t flaws — they’re character.

• Sustainably Made, Naturally Beautiful. Each piece is created from wood that’s been reclaimed, not wasted — saved from landfills and given new life.

• From History to Home. Reclaimed wood carries the marks of where it’s been. Now it’s part of your story.

• Crafted, Not Manufactured. No factories here — just a one-woman workshop, thoughtful hands, and a whole lot of love.

• Not Weatherproof! I seal painted pieces with an enamel protectant, but they’re still not suited for full exposure. Covered porches, behind storm doors, or inside your home is best.

Yes! I love collaborating on custom projects. Whether you need a specific size, finish, or design, just reach out — I’m happy to bring your vision to life.

Nope — and that’s the beauty of it.
Each piece is made from reclaimed wood, which means knots, grain, character marks, and natural imperfections. No two pieces are ever exactly the same, and that’s what makes yours special.

Most of my wood is locally reclaimed in central Alabama— from old barns, homes, sheds, or wherever I can find a piece with good bones and a story to tell. Every board is cleaned, prepped, and shaped with care.

I’m always happy to send a photo if you’d like to preview your piece! Just let me know when placing your order, and I’ll make sure to snap one before it heads your way.

I’m a one-woman shop, so I don’t offer wholesale in the traditional sense — but if you’re looking to place a bulk order for an event, fundraiser, or group, feel free to reach out and we’ll see what’s possible!

A quick dusting with a soft, dry cloth is all most pieces need. If it’s displayed outdoors, keep it in a covered area and avoid direct exposure to rain or intense sun to help preserve the finish.

Due to the handmade and small-batch nature of my work, all sales are final. I don’t accept returns or exchanges once production has started. If something arrives damaged, I’ll help guide you through the process of filing a claim with the mail carrier.

Please double-check your cart before completing checkout. I may not be able to make changes or cancel your order after it’s placed, especially during busy seasons or product launches. If you run into an issue, reach out as soon as possible.

Please check with your local carrier, delivery driver, or neighbors first — sometimes packages are mis-scanned or dropped at a nearby address. Unfortunately, I’m unable to replace lost or stolen packages once tracking shows “delivered.”

Possibly! I love making modified versions of past pieces. Use the Custom Order Request form to tell me what you're looking for and I’ll let you know if I have the materials or time available.
