Wood Thumb
354 5th Street, San Francisco, CA 94107
This week I’m excited to introduce you to Wood Thumb, located in the heart of SOMA, San Francisco, where they’ve pleasantly managed to balance art, craftsmanship and commerce.
Founded by brothers Christopher and David Steinrueck in 2011, Wood Thumb was created to offer unique, handcrafted goods from reclaimed wood that are made to last. Their factory opens up to a storefront that allows them to connect directly with the community where they design and construct their products. They also invite the community in for regular workshops and events! Check it out: woodthumb.com/events
Something that instantly caught my attention as an artist is their design aesthetic, which mixes rustic with contemporary minimalism. I really love the look and feel of the reclaimed wood. In fact, my own eye glasses are made with recycled railroad ties. The passionate and talented craftsmen at Wood Thumb like to source materials with a back story, including reclaimed redwood and old bourbon barrel staves. They offer a range of men’s accessories, like cool wooden ties and sunglasses, and even household products.
If you find yourself in SOMA, stop in, say hello and pick up this week’s art! Cool shop, cool people. :)
