Jim
Howard
Jim lives in Seattle full
time. His summer's are busy flying for NW
Seaplanes located in Renton, WA flying to remote fishing lodges on
the North Coast of British Columbia. Much of the remainder of the year
he is working on rustic furniture and art, maintaining and creating
web-sites of his own, and traveling to his various properties he owns
around the country. Jim especially loves creating web-sites because it
allows him freedom of a daily 9-5 job and he finds it interesting and
fun to create unique places for people to go and search on the internet.
Below is a little paragraph about Jim's rustic furniture business.
As a nationally recognized
rustic furniture artist, Jim Howard shows his works in many galleries
throughout the country including New York, Sun Valley & Park City,
Utah, Jackson Hole & Cody, Wyoming, Vail, Colorado, and Seattle,
Washington. His rustic art
has been featured in various books on rustic furniture including Chase
Reynolds Ewald's Cowboy Chic, Ralph Kylloe's book Rustic,
& Contemporary Western Design, by Thea Marx. The
magazines Adirondack Life, Log & Timber Style, Log Home
Design Ideas, and Cowboys & Indians have recently featured
photos of his work. Jim
started creating rustic pieces in the late 70’s when there were,
“just a few of us making rustic furniture in the Adirondacks of New
York State” where he lived. He
is currently building and creating in Seattle.
His work always adds a very unique and rustic feel to any room of
your home. He builds each
piece by hand and every one is signed and numbered. Jim gladly
accepts custom orders, although due to his busy flying schedule and
current orders in the works, you may have a few months wait for your
piece(s). Jim's history of working with sticks, twigs, bark, metal
& leather in his art of making rustic furniture is a passion that
lives in him every day. "There isn't a day that goes by that
I don't think about creating something unique. It doesn't matter
if I'm flying, skiing, or just driving down the road, I'm always
thinking Rustic. It's just a way of life I have lived for
so long and it will never leave me till the day I die."
