BrooxWood Studio acquires Prescott location to keep up with global demand.
After a wooden shelf and six large, heavy pieces of handmade wood, Courtney said, "Stop!" he yelled. He said
“We had so many pieces and had nowhere to put them!” he explained.
So the Wilsons took the furniture to a flea market in Phoenix, where it sold out within hours.
It also attracted customers, prompting them to open the Live Edge Lust Wood Shop in downtown Phoenix. About six years after their founding, a large contract required a lot of space to store and process a large amount of wood. It also provides enough financial security that you know you can move anywhere you want.
Prescott was chosen for its natural beauty and climate. Additionally, Chris was born and raised in the area. Located at 820 E. Sheldon St., in historic downtown Prescott. They found a 1,500-square-foot space with high ceilings to house their woodworking shop and studio.
“We make custom furniture for private customers,” Courtney said. We have passion and creativity in every area.
They also changed the company to Brooks Wood Studios and Brooks Plants under the company name Brooks Collective.
“Brooks is a household name,” Courtney said. “Chris' Uncle Brooks had a huge influence on him and we want to honor him. We changed the font to Brooks because it has a more modern, handcrafted look.
When the couple opened their doors for a grand opening on Saturday, August 12, around 400 people came to see organic and sustainable luxury products for the home and office, as well as unique plants that contribute to healthy air quality.
Handcrafted finished items such as coffee tables, chairs, headboards, tables and nightstands are attractive to home and business owners. Thailand's golden acacia and mango wood panels, known as Urban Jungle Wood, are inspired by hobbyists and entrepreneurs.
“We really pride ourselves on our high-quality lumber,” says Courtney. “We get it from trees felled by hurricanes or left behind by new construction.”
Courtney says customers can order whatever they want. “Woodwork will be carried out on site, including routers and panels.”
The Wilsons take their creations around the world and gain instant recognition in the Quad Cities area for their participation and support of local events. The couple plans to partner with and hope to offer woodworking classes at Yavapai College. They also want to offer BrooksWood Studio as an event venue. FBN
