Location: Maybell Colorado
Website: http://www.rockymountain-twist.com

Welcome to Rocky Mountain Twist. We are a family owned and operated home based business located in Maybell which is in Northwestern Colorado where Juniper grows in abundance, this makes our ideas limitless and every piece of furniture we make unique. We pride ourselves in creating our pieces based on quality and not quantity.

We collect all wood ourselves which is 90% dead, dying or fallen. In our adventures we have discovered that the more rugged & harsh the country the more unique the pieces of wood become. All of our wood is pressured washed, hand sanded and finished with 3 coats of polycrylic. There is no color added, all colors of the wood are 100% natural. We pay special attention to every detail making sure not remove any unique characteristics such as bug "tracks", scars or burrows. Also, all of our bases are handmade and not run through a planer or factory bought.

We take pleasure in cleaning the wood, during this stage we really get to see what kind of beauty is beneath the layers of bark. From there, we can begin planning the next phase and then finishing the product to ship out to your home.

Our Juniper Rustic Log Furniture will add joy, comfort and a one of a kind look to your home, vacation hideout or log cabin. These wonderful collections will make great gifts for the ones you love.

Rocky Mountain Twist is a designer log furniture company dedicated to providing complete custom flexibility and quality craftsmanship. We offer individual guidance at our home/shop to help with the "client specific" custom furniture process, creating the perfect handmade piece for your home.

When it comes to furnishing your home, it is a reflection of your personality and passion, this is where we deliver superb workmanship and style by taking your design visions and making them a reality.

Our "open door" policy allows you to stop by our shop anytime, look through our collection of wood and pick out the pieces that are right for you. We will then combine art and craftsmanship to bring to life that "impossible to find" item for your home.

On of our greatest joys, is to be able to share our passion for creating such one of a kind works of art with you and to bring to you something that is stunning, functional and exactly what you are looking for. We love to watch peoples eyes light up when they see our work for the first time.

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.

God Bless

I find your work beautiful. Somehow, in spite of the lot of work you put into each project, I feel as if you would have just help the wood to show all its beauty with the simplest make up: “washing” its face.

Okay, understand this is not a slam, but I’m a Colo native, been through Maybell a couple of times, and I have trouble understanding where your shop might be. There’s not a lot in or around Maybell except the dinos.

Maybell, Colorado
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maybell, Colorado
Location in Moffat County and the state of Colorado
Elevation 5,922 ft (1,805 m)

Maybell is an unincorporated town and a U.S. Post Office in Moffat County, Colorado, United States. The Maybell Post Office has the ZIP Code 81640.[2]

The lowest temperature ever recorded in the state of Colorado was -61°F (-52°C) at Maybell on February 1, 1985, .[3]

You are correct, Maybell is very small, we have a school which hosts K-5 and this new school year of 08-09 will have a total of 9 kids. There is a library, 1 store, post office and Meat Processing Plant which is only open during the hunting season oh and a church. Well if you are cruising west on Highway 40 and come to the town of Maybell you will proceed through Maybell which probably isnt a quater mile long, as you get the the west end of town, before you head up the hill out of town, there is Colorado Highway 318 on the right side of the road, this will take you all the way to rock springs which is a 2 hour drive. Anyway we are a little over 4 miles up that highway so technically we are out side of the Maybell City Limits and not quite into Sunbeam, which is even smaller than Maybell.

My husband and I bought some land and had a house put on it about 8 years ago and almost 3 years ago we had our shop built. We work from home and sell our items from home and most of our customers come to us through the internet.

If any of you are familiar with the outlaws like Jesse James, Billy the Kid… and all of them, this part of colorado was one of their most frequent hiding places, if you continue travel up Highway 318 it will take you to Browns Park and home of the outlaws…. pretty cool stuff

Hope this answers your question Oh and we had -40 last winter…..

Awesome work Tim and Candy. I looked at your webpage, it is great. Your situation reminds me a lot of us. We are a small family of 4 with two small children and own and operate a family run custom cabinet business here in San Antonio. The work you all do is very artistic and very nice. Keep up all the fun!
