Beloved Furniture story began when I was in high school when I discovered my passion
for woodworking. My dream was to build all the furniture in my future home. Most of
what I learned was self taught, or from videos I would watch on Youtube. I continued
learning as much as I could through college, where I earned a degree in Forestry. Being
surrounded by sawmills in my job as a Forester sparked the interest to mill my own
lumber, dry it, and make furniture for my wife, Kathryn, and I. Breedlove Woodworking,
what would become Beloved Furniture, was born in 2018 out of the garage that I built
on our property in Wilmar, AR. We started out making anything and everything, but
soon realized that dining room furniture, where families make life happen and make
memories everyday, was where our passion lied.
In 2024, I left my 10 year career as a Forester behind, moved my wife and 1 year old
daughter, Hazel, to Elm Springs and started focusing on Beloved Furniture full time.
We soon outgrew our ability to provide our own lumber, and started using purchased
kiln dried lumber to keep up with demand. We’ve also grown to hire 2 part time
helpers in the shop, with plans on bringing on a full time position soon! As a small
business, each customers order directly impacts our growing family and each customer
becomes a part of our continuing story.
