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."
