Our Story

Sandtown Partners Will Phillips (left) & James Battaglia (right)

Where we came from.

Will: Sandtown started as a pile of discarded beams on a Habitat job site in West Baltimore. I was volunteering that day, and couldn't bring myself to put those dusty old boards in the dumpster. Just couldn’t do it. There was something about them that felt special, it wasn’t their time to go just yet. So I hauled them away and started a furniture company. James joined soon after, and we've been chasing a big dream ever since.

13 years later, we have proudly stamped our name into thousands of pieces of handmade furniture, no two the same. We have enjoyed lasting relationships with our customers, and we have earned a very good reputation. We’ve learned and we’ve grown. But one thing hasn’t changed: we still marvel at the beauty of this old wood. Its strength and quality, the beauty, the character. Indeed, this wood is very, very special.

We salvage old urban trees & give them a second life.
