Please note that Refined Elements is our furniture manufacturing brand but we now manufacturer everything under the Texas Urban Sawmill (both companies reside at our Dripping Springs, TX facility). Everything we do starts with fallen or dead trees salvaged in urban, rural and woodlands areas across the multiple states. Our branded furniture business, Refined Elements, specializes in inspired natural design, live edge furniture, urban wood furniture and urban tree specialty lumber. We are the only business in TX offering turn-key solutions for urban tree salvaging & re-purposing from craning of the logs to final delivery of lumber or furniture. Our pieces are known to command immediate attention and focused conversation. Our designs are treated as works of art, yet, we engineer them to be functional with an elegant blend of classical joinery and contemporary appeal. Every piece we produce for our clients is truly one of a kind and crafted to embrace the natural beauty of a tree. ### Services Provided - Custom Furniture - Furniture Sales - Furniture Delivery - Bar & Countertops - CNC Milling - Cutting Boards & Butcher Blocks - Sawmilling - Tree Salvaging & Re-use ### Areas Served - Austin - Lakeway - Bee Cave - Dripping Springs - The Hills - Bear Creek - Driftwood - Texas - United States ### Typical Job Cost $5,000 - 50,000 Cost is highly variable depending on design complexity and material choices.

We, my wife and I, started out our journey with Devin in september and it started out great. Paid the deposit 50% upfront and patiently waited. Well 3 months go by and still we dont have a table and barely any responses any more. That is not very ethical. At this point we do not think we will ever see our deposit or the table. **★★★★★ — Nick & Annie Willemse, April 2017** > Words cannot fully express how impressed and grateful we are with Devin Ginther and Refined Elements! We were in the process of building our home and needed a large dining table and coffee table. After shopping around, we couldn’t quite find the exact pieces we were looking for—all from a size, quality, and aesthetic perspective. Searching online, we came across Refined Elements and contacted Devin. Not only did Devin have a nice inventory of black walnut slabs, but he also possessed the knowledge, skills, and finesse to create two gorgeous pieces of furniture for us. The moment we met Devin to discuss what we were looking for, we knew right then and there he was the right person. We presented him with the inspiration behind the base for the dining table and the coffee table. Devin was personally involved along every step of the way and engaged us to ensure that not one small detail was overlooked. He even provided us with a CAD rendering of the coffee table to validate the proportionality. > > The black walnut slabs we selected have so much character in them—something that cannot be replicated in many of those faux live edge dining tables you see stores carrying these days. These came from a standing dead walnut tree that they salvaged in Oklahoma. Devin was able to bring these pieces back to life in the form of our dining table. The coffee table was just as stunning, the perfect statement piece to center our living room around. When Devin delivered the pieces to us, we even noticed how he had already thought about the positioning of the pieces, which side should be facing which direction to highlight the piece’s best angle in a room. He even educated us on the usage of bowties and how it’s not just cosmetic, but also serves a purpose in stabilizing the wood. > > These pieces are truly works of art—it never grows old looking at them and each time you seem to pick up on another unique trait you hadn’t noticed before. Our family will definitely cherish these pieces for many years to come. Urban wood is the way to go and Devin Ginther is the man to make your vision a reality! We are still in awe at how one person can combine quality, value, functionality, and aesthetics by breathing life into pieces that are not just looked at, but also used on a daily basis. Devin is now working on a third piece for us, a credenza for our study, and we can’t wait to see how beautiful it will turn out! **★★★★★ — Capstone Custom Homes, March 2015** > Refined Elements creates art we can use everyday for the rest of our lives. Devin's attention to detail goes beyond what any of his customers even realize. I have had the pleasure of working with him side by side to create a few one off items. Devin takes it to the highest level with precision, ingenuity, craftsmanship, customer service, and most of all quality. You will not find a more skilled diligent designer/ craftsman anywhere. **★★★★★ — captainsheena, Feb. 2015** > Devin delivers an awesome product. He personally hand picked the Michigan Black Walnut for my dining room table. It is so large that we wanted it to be 2" thick so that it didn't look too thin. The table measures 145" X 45". He did matching buffet tops that were 1 1/2" thick. Everything is the highest quality and expectations were met. Having said that, I hired Devin again to make my wine room table. That base is an artwork of tree branches holding an 8' diameter glass top. Beautiful. Project cost below is for both tables and the buffet tops. Devin's work is of such quality that a friend of mine is considering using him when she builds her house. **Comment from Refined Elements LLC:** > Sherry, > > Thanks for the kind words. You did such a wonderful job designing and decorating your beautiful home. Look forward to building many more pieces for the entire gang! Just hope we don't have to move things via a crane! **★★★★★ — vande12, Feb. 2015** > Thank you, Devin, and Refined Elements for the wonderful table. My husband and I are immense lovers of live edge furniture and finally decided to pull the trigger on a reputable craftsman. This level of furniture is honestly a big investment, so we interviewed several of the better known businesses located in both the Northeast and Northwest and were lucky to have been given a reference to Refined Elements. We never would have guessed that such a unique, family owned small business would exist in Texas. We found the owner's level of knowledge to be unmatched. His genuine desire to understand our needs and share his knowledge was very impressive. There was no pressure to make a purchase and their pricing was very reasonable, especially compared to most in PA and NY. In fact, Devin supported discussions with other markers. His confidence in the quality of work clearly shows. We took the knowledge we gained from Devin to ask more informed questions. Only a one other could provide us with satisfactory answers and Refined Elements became the clear choice. My husband and I feel the quality of Refined Elements work is difficult to match. We went with a complete custom design and enjoyed the entire collaborative process. This was a very big investment for us and the table we received is simply amazing. It is clearly handmade and we feel the love of the artisans everyday. Words literally can't describe this art piece. In fact, we are committed to a coffee table later this year. I would not hesitate to recommend Refined Elements to any of our family members and friends. Devin and team, thank you so very much for your patience and time. Your company makes some of the finest furniture we've seen and certainly the nicest furniture we've ever owed! All the best this year. **Comment from Refined Elements LLC:** > Wow! I feel we are honestly blessed to work with such wonderful clients. I am so thankful for the thorough review. This is a real-life example which validates our belief that investing more time upfront in a project will results in superior products and much higher level of customer satisfaction. I spend over 10 years leading development teams in the biotech industry. We invested an immense amount of money in defining user needs / requirements. Why? If you invest $5M+ to bring a new product to market, you better be sure it is the product that customers will buy. For some reason, I see a lack of focus on customer needs when it comes to custom furniture. I've heard too many horror stories which required re-work, lost business or broken relationships. In practice, it should be no different regardless of the industry. This is just one of many reason why the team at Refined Elements feels we have a bright future ahead! Thanks again! And we look forward to building that coffee table! **★★★★★ — Stephanie Hirsch, Feb. 2015** > From concept to installment, our live edge wood table from Refined Elements is one of the best house purchases we've ever made. > > When my husband and I moved several hundred miles away from near Refined Elements, the artist personally dropped off our table and spent time installing and polishing it in our home. > > We were in awe - of the beautiful table and the fantastic experience with Refined Elements. > > Other tables we looked at of this quality were 2-3x the price. We feel like we got an unbelievable deal on the highest quality construction and aesthetic. > > HIGHLY recommend!!! **Comment from Refined Elements LLC:** > Thanks so much Steph! It was nothing but a pleasure. Beautiful home and ever expanding beautiful family!! Don't forget to send me pictures and hope to see you guys sometime this year again. ## Selected projects - [Wimberley Blanco River Memorial Flood Cypress Table](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wimberley-blanco-river-memorial-flood-cypress-table-pj-vj~5914799) - Location: Wimberley, Texas - Photos: 9 - Description: This is a Blanco River Memorial Flood Table that was produced from a salvaged bald cypress that was lost during this historical flood in 2015.
