Since it's inception, Greenwood Bay has been crafting the Gulf Coast's best furniture for individual and commercial clients and leading designers. Our handcrafted custom pieces are each hand made in Houston's eclectic EaDo district, and are designed to be both beautiful and functional. We seek the best, most beautiful wood from small mills and other independent sources around the country to provide our clients the widest assortment of unique and specialty woods available. Because we make our own pieces, we can offer unlimited options, allowing our clients to find furniture to perfectly match their needs and budget. We incorporate traditional and innovative joinery with contemporary “urban organic” design to produce pieces that will be loved for years to come. All of our finishes are earth-friendly and non-toxic. Bob’s long-time passion and commitment to client satisfaction drives his work. “I grew up working with wood in my dad’s basement workshop. After a 25-year corporate career, I created Greenwood Bay so that I could devote my full energies to something I felt passionate about. I’ve been thrilled by the reception we’ve received from designers and residential, retail, and corporate clients who appreciate our approach to design and craftsmanship, as well as our commitment to community and the environment.” ### Services Provided - Custom Furniture ### Areas Served - Houston - Hillshire - Pasadena - North Houston - Baytown - Spring - Cypress - La Porte - Katy - Bellaire - Humble - South Houston - West University Place - Galena Park - Jacinto City - Hunters Creek Village - Spring Valley - Southside Place - Hilshire Village - Alief - Barker - Hufsmith - United States ### Typical Job Cost $1,250 - $15,000 ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Greenwood Bay | | Address | 100 Hutcheson St, Houston, Texas 77003, United States | | Phone | (281) 684-7102 | | Website | http://www.greenwoodbay.net | | Followers on Houzz | 43 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/GreenwoodBay - Blog — http://greenwoodbay.net/ ## Offers Free Shipping: Mention Houzz! _On orders over $2,500_ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Greenwood Bay](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/furniture-and-accessories/greenwood-bay-pfvwus-pf~1040515604) - **Website:** http://www.greenwoodbay.net - **Phone:** (281) 684-7102 ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 5 reviews** ### All 5 reviews **★★★★★ — Susan John, Jan. 2016** > Bob took our general idea about wood island and countertops and used his experience and creative skills to design beautiful live edge counters that exceeded our expectations. He is very professional and easy to work with. He gave us a choice of materials at a variety of cost levels, several of which were very suitable. He delivered the products when promised and has been conscientious about follow-up. We couldn't be happier with the countertops, which have become a centerpiece of our new kitchen. **★★★★★ — wildnative, Feb. 2015** > Meticulously beautiful workmanship. Conscientious and great communication throughout project. > > We had a magnificent 165 year old Burr Oak that fell on our property after a hurricane weakened it. We harvested the wood in hopes of using it in our house that was nearing the end of the developmental stage, and is now fully constructed. Greenwood Bay transformed slabs of that wood into a Live Edge mantle, office space work surface, bathroom countertop for two vessel sinks, powder room vanity top for another vessel sink, entryway seating surface (in a modern craftsman-style foyer with cubbies and window seating area) and the most beautiful live edge kitchen bar top (with tons or swirling burl in the limb that Bob used to make it). We are now in the process of having Greenwood Bay make a 10 ft long live edge dining table, bed frame for the master bedroom, and various tables and benches. Some of the raw wood slabs had cracked before GB received them from us, and the "butterflies" that were incorporated to maintain structural integrity only added to the beauty of the work. > > Highly, highly recommend this company! > > Photos include: example of the condition of the harvested oak that was supplied to Greenwood Bay, and photos of their work on our Kitchen Bar Top, Foyer Cubby/Seating, Office Work Surface. **★★★★★ — Tommy Thompson Design, Feb. 2015** > I contacted Bob Card at Greenwwod Bay after seeing his work on his website. I visited his workshop and saw impressive examples of his work. > He is easy to work with and does not shy away from collaboration with designers. He will happily go the extra mile to bring projects to fruition. We successfully designed a group of tables for a demanding client. We are working on two projects for two different clients at the moment. Bob does not mind answering questions and doing research when necessary. He is the consummate artisan and woodworker. He knows his craft and is willing to create outside the box. I highly recommend Bob for his patience, his performance, and his perfect attention to detail. Visiting his website is a must for anyone contemplating a project in wood, or wood and metal. **★★★★★ — Arielle Lawson, Jan. 2015** > I LOVE my gorgeous Maple bathroom countertop that Bob provided for me. It is gorgoeous, and it feels luxurious and look amazing. I enjoyed working with Bob, and cannot wait to work with him again. He had wonderful ideas and really went above and beyond my expectations. **★★★★★ — Pamela Hope Designs, March 2014** > Greenwood Bay did a great job providing an attractive solution to an unusual problem. I had bought beautiful bar stools for a client and they loved them. However, when summer came and they started to go barefoot, they found the footrests uncomfortable. Since it took several months to discover this and they liked the set so much there was no thought of returning them. > > Bob designed a custom add-on ledge out of wood. It was sturdy, comfortable and blended seamlessly with the original design of the stools. The clients thought they looked great. I suggested to the vendor that we send the idea to the manufacturer because we all thought that Greenwood Bay built a better mousetrap, ## Selected projects - [Houston Loft](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/houston-loft-pj-vj~38840) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 27 - Description: Located in the historic Hermann Building, this unit was renovated in 2011.

Who can i contact? A: I opened Greenwood Bay in 2009 and have been making Live Edge furniture, bars, and islands ever since. We use sustainably harvested wood and natural oil finish to bring out all the beauty of the wood and provide years of protection. The table in the photo you posted is made from a 13 foot Ash slab. We fabricated a custom stainless steel base for it, and finished it with all natural oil. The top picture below is made from Chinese Tallow and Walnut, built on a custom base. The second picture below is made from two Bur Oak slabs we fit together to create the extra long bar top. I will be pleased to help you with any questions you may have. We are located in Houston Texas, but ship pieces to clients throughout the country. Cheers - Bob Card bob@greenwoodbay.net **Q: looking for a surfboard style desk or some other nautical look** *(in Design Dilemma)* The desk needs to be around 60-65 inches wide. I need an opening in it for a printer that is about 16 inches wide and 19 1/2 inches deep. Also a flip down keyboard drawer. A: Hi Pamela - have you thought about custom? This allows you to have full control over all the dimensions - as well as all other aspects, such as wood choices, number of shelves, and so forth. I'd be pleased to answer any questions you may have, and would encourage you to check out my HOUZZ profile at Greenwood Bay. Best of luck! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
