Bronze patina forms naturally, with no intervention needed.

But in our workshop, we give natural alchemy a helping hand – immersing the bronze in a secret blend that influences the color of the patina.

A process that would take months or even years unfolds in minutes – but it’s never truly ‘finished’. Each piece will deepen in color and character for years to come. by @icaatexas

We loved hosting the @icaatexas at our showroom yesterday for an evening with Brent Hull!

Brent spoke about the enduring relevance of traditional millwork and classical craftsmanship, and as fellow craftsmen, we loved learning more about the history of architectural millwork. We’re hopeful that leaders like him will inspire a new generation to value and preserve the timeless craftsmanship that has defined great architecture for centuries. And, of course, we’ll continue doing our part! 🪵⚒️

Mortgage guy at a historic millwork lecture. Stay with me.

I talk a lot about building science. Air, moisture, health. That comes first.

Tonight Brent Hull made the case for what comes next: proportion, shadow lines, trim that was designed instead of bought by the foot.

Healthy is why a house works. Beautiful is why someone keeps it for a hundred years.

Still learning. Thank you to ICAA Texas for bringing him to Houston.

Where bronze comes to life ✨

We recently welcomed members of @icaatexas Chapter to our San Antonio workshop for a CEU-accredited educational event.

Together, we explored the history, material science and modern benefits of bronze, with the opportunity to see, touch and watch it taking shape in our workshop.

It's always our privilege to bring design professionals into our world, and our joy to watch their imaginations be sparked by what bronze can do. by @icaatexas

A little sawdust, a lot of craftsmanship, and cocktails to go with it!

For more than a century, the family of companies behind Reichert Woodworks has helped shape Dallas homes through exceptional craftsmanship.

We're going behind the scenes for live demonstrations, a look inside the workshops, and a chance to meet the craftsmen who bring architectural designs to life.

There's also a spectacular 64-foot mural celebrating the history of Texas craftsmanship—and plenty of BBQ, cocktails, and conversation.

All part of our celebration of 20 years of ICAA Texas and 10 years of the John Staub Awards.
