A growing collection of sculptural objects, shaped one piece at a time to celebrate grain, curve, and useful detail.
Available now · 6 pieces · Past work · 13 sold piecesI'm Eric Robledo, the maker behind Bentwood Designs LLC. I enjoy working with all woods, exotic and domestic, building small-batch pieces — boxes, bowls, and keepsakes — from hardwoods like walnut, Wenge, Padauk, and maple, to name a few. Every piece is designed and finished by hand in my shop, made to be used and kept for a long time.
Selected pieces are on display at The Bryand Gallery in Wilmington, NC — stop by to see them in person.
Every piece starts here — rough lumber, sharp tools, and a lot of sawdust.
Ready to ship from the shop. Every piece is one of a kind — when it’s gone, it’s gone, but I can make something similar.
