history
Ryan Philip Tremblay was born and raised in Winter Haven, Florida. His love for woodworking began early building tree forts and continued through high school shop class. In 2000, he founded Tremblay Wood Art while attending High Point University in North Carolina. After graduating from University of Florida with a degree in Building Construction, he began a project manager career in Sarasota handling over $300 million of complex commercial projects. In 2017, he took a leap of faith and began woodworking full time. Since then, Tremblay Wood Art has completed over $1 million in commission work, milled over 100,000 board feet of local urban recovered trees (mostly storm fallen exotics), kiln dried and sold over 25,000 board feet, and operated a negative waste business model where even sawdust is upcycled.
finish
We strictly use all-natural pure tung oils, with citrus/pine solvents, carnauba and beeswax. This is a hand applied process which fills the pores and creates a waterproof barrier when properly applied. After several weeks of drying, we buff and burnish the wax into the oil, mildly increasing sheen, and leaving an authentic finish that only looks better with time. It is non-film forming, which preserves the unfiltered feel of the grain and endures for generations. Tung oil has been used for over 2,000 years. It comes from the seed of a tree. We return it to the wood.
