It\u2019s a play on a Picasso piece called \u201cBull\u2019s Head\u201d. A bicycle seat and handlebars assembled to resemble a Longhorn. I took it a step further and made it a way to display bicycles as art\u00a0 itself. I\u2019ll never forget the exciting feeling of cutting the first wooden plaque into shape and seeing the vision come to life. I gave that first Bicycle Taxidermy to my close friend as a gift, but since then we have built over 2,000 with some being installed in luxury hotels, lodges, and cycling cafes all around the world.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14765fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"14765fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wescover.com\/p\/bicycle-taxidermy-the-longhorn-by-the-iron-roots-at-clients-residence-portland-or--PrkK_H3w44\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/jmc4o03sf4ytfpfjvhzz-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-12158 wp-image-12169\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/jmc4o03sf4ytfpfjvhzz-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/jmc4o03sf4ytfpfjvhzz-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/jmc4o03sf4ytfpfjvhzz-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/jmc4o03sf4ytfpfjvhzz-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/jmc4o03sf4ytfpfjvhzz.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Bicycle Taxidermy \"The Longhorn\"<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-db1fe9a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"db1fe9a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3a84999\" data-id=\"3a84999\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-babfa6d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"babfa6d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What inspired your latest collection? <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7542d8a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7542d8a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c48e48f\" data-id=\"c48e48f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e7ef9aa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e7ef9aa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our \u201cNatural Harmony Collection\u201d is our ambitious, brand-defining celebration for our 10 year anniversary. The aim was to be all at once beautiful to look at, a seamless fit into any home, and to proudly last for generations. I think most people agree that the best strategy for sustainable living is to make and buy things that endure. That means stepping away from fads and making commitments to the look of your home. We\u2019re doing the same thing in our San Francisco workshop. Crafting furniture that will last as long as you\u2019ll have it. Our beautiful hardwood will form a warm patina in the sunlight of your window while the well-considered design and materials will transition from conversation piece to heirloom.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0c3decd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0c3decd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wescover.com\/p\/century-console-table-by-the-iron-roots--Prkt1hjZ8n\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/02qo6c2ihgmo4719vpx4-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-12158 wp-image-12170\" alt=\"Natural Harmony Collection by The Iron Roots Designs\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/02qo6c2ihgmo4719vpx4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/02qo6c2ihgmo4719vpx4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/02qo6c2ihgmo4719vpx4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/02qo6c2ihgmo4719vpx4-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/02qo6c2ihgmo4719vpx4.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Natural Harmony Collection by The Iron Roots Designs <\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1ab7a70 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1ab7a70\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9a9d6f6\" data-id=\"9a9d6f6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eeaf3ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"eeaf3ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is your favorite design from your latest collection? <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-472e3a6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"472e3a6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-eadeb97\" data-id=\"eadeb97\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fdb574a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fdb574a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I design all the products so it feels like choosing a favorite child!

Always handmade, always ethical practices, always solid wood. Cutting corners probably would make me more money, but I\u2019m proud of what we create everyday and that\u2019s worth more.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0So we start with the highest grade of hardwood bought from a local mill only a mile from our San Francisco workshop. I always say that in furniture, you can write the speech, but the wood does the talking. So our job is a lot easier when the wood is as good as it gets.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0We keep a very spartan workshop. Only the tools that are constantly in use. Everything is done by hand (no CNC) so that our work has a human touch. I\u2019m ok with automation in other parts of life, but I don\u2019t see a place for it in woodworking.\u00a0 Trees are like people: it\u2019s our unique qualities that make us authentic and special. Our differences are part of our essence and that should be celebrated. You\u2019ll see that authenticity in the wood and the way we crafted it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the build process, we generously apply a combination of natural oils and waxes to bring out the color, figuring, and luster that comes inherently from the chosen species of

It\u2019s not for everyone, but I\u2019m so much happier working 12 hours a day for myself than 8 hours for someone else.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-097cf6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"097cf6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wescover.com\/p\/arch-nesting-coffee-tables-by-the-iron-roots--PryVVa_XUh\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/7e9v9sqj5dxkapbevrs3-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-12158 wp-image-12174\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/7e9v9sqj5dxkapbevrs3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/7e9v9sqj5dxkapbevrs3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/7e9v9sqj5dxkapbevrs3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/7e9v9sqj5dxkapbevrs3-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog-prod.wescover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/7e9v9sqj5dxkapbevrs3.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">\"Arch Nesting\" Coffee Tables<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4953d5b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4953d5b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-10c9148\" data-id=\"10c9148\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-293f76e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"293f76e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How do you incorporate sustainable practices into your work? <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a1363e6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a1363e6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3b4b303\" data-id=\"3b4b303\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ee4c82 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8ee4c82\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As I said before, Ethical Practices are one of the founding philosophies of the company and sustainability is a key part of that. We buy sustainably sourced hardwood, we use \u201czero waste\u201d woodworking techniques, we recycle constantly, and craft products that will last a lifetime.

If you\u2019re on Wescover, then you probably already have that in mind. The irony in mass produced furniture is that most of the price goes to corporate structure and not the piece itself. Buying from smaller companies and makers cuts out a lot of overhead which means what you pay is going towards the material and build quality. Plus a piece with a story will always be cooler than the bragging rights of a big brand.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0dfe88c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0dfe88c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-89af2d6\" data-id=\"89af2d6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0f6d88 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"c0f6d88\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73a9c27 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"73a9c27\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<pre dir=\"ltr\" style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.2; margin-left: 0.142841pt; margin-top: 9.99994pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><i style=\"color: #4a4a4a; font-family: 'Work Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: normal;\">Thank you to Phillip Stone for telling your story, and dedication to not only Wescover, but the future of sustainably made furniture and decor.<\/i><\/pre>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8ae00e2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8ae00e2\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d86aa4f\" data-id=\"d86aa4f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94258e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"94258e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wescover.com\/creator\/the-iron-roots-designs\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Shop The Iron Roots Designs<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phillip Stone is the founder of the San Francisco based woodworking design company, The Iron Roots Design.
