Western Heritage Furniture is an American custom furniture manufacturer established by master craftsman Tim McClellan in 1991.[2] The company distinguishes itself by crafting unique furniture pieces using reclaimed lumber sourced from aging buildings and barns.[3] Western Heritage Furniture has garnered recognition, featuring in publications such as the 2009 coffee table book "Contemporary Western Design" by Thea Marx.[4]

McClellan founded Western Heritage Furniture in Seattle with an initial focus on repurposing wood from slash-and-burn piles for furniture construction.[5] In 1995, the company underwent a pivotal relocation to Jerome, Arizona, establishing its operations within the historic Mingus Union High School gymnasium.[6]
