About us

“When I was 47, right after my dad died, I headed out to the back porch and built myself a table. Never read a book, never took a class, never watched Norm on TV. When I was finished, I knew what was next in my life. It took five years of learning before I sold my auto repair business and was building furniture full time. My kids were able to stay in college. I’ve progressed over the years… special pieces of wood are stuck all over my shop. When you come in and I get a feel for what you want, I’ll start showing you the wood.” WT Hawkins

Hawkins Furniture Company specializes in building things out of reclaimed wood and Texas wood. Buffets, hutches, chest of drawers, side tables, mantles, desks, beds, bookcases/shelves, dining tables – we build them all, but they don’t live in the store. That’s because they’re built based on unique personal choices and preferences, crafted and finished with Hawkins’ deft eye. We are not just a store, but instead, a workshop where one-of-a-kind pieces are custom crafted.

Over the years, we’ve done a lot of different things. Browse our shop on any given day and you might find a beautiful mantle out of black walnut, a pecan side table, or even a dining table made from old bowling alley – whatever material it is, we’re committed to showing it in its best light and using it in creative, new ways to enhance the natural beauty of the woods we choose. The photos on the website are a sample of pieces we’ve completed before, and are intended to give you a glimpse of the type of work we do – nothing ever comes out the same…

Stop by the woodshop and have a look – if it’s made out of real wood, we built it, if it’s painted, we didn’t. We’d love to give you a glimpse of our work – pieces that are sure to become favorites for generations to come!
