A LIFELONG HOBBY

Dune Beard has spent years as a custom craftsman, working in bladesmithing, leather work, and fine woodwork. Unlike many who begin hobbies as a kid, Dune has had the great fortune of being able to have turned his early love of handcrafting metal and wood into a professional career. Today, he offers Northwest Arkansas a variety of products including: leatherbound notebooks, kitchen and bowie knives, and wooden furniture.

ARTICLE BY TREVOR SPENCER | PHOTOGRAPHY BY CASSIE THOMAS
Dune Beard’s Custom, Handmade Wood, Metal, and Leather Work
“I really enjoy taking raw materials and turning it into a product people want.”

Before moving to Fayetteville for college, Dune lived in the country outside Tulsa. In junior high, he didn’t have television or WiFi at home to keep him entertained. Instead, Dune found ways to occupy his time by working with his hands. It was during a family trip to Silver Dollar City with his family, that Dune spotted a bladesmith over a forge, crafting knives. Fascinated, he knew right then and there that it was something he wanted to try. Dune’s father gave him tools to start and, one year later, he was asking his parents for a larger blade grind for his birthday.

Soon after, he started crafting knives and leather work for others in high school. “I really enjoyed taking raw materials and turning it into a product people want,” Dune said. He proudly remembers looking around and seeing every student’s yeti cup adorned with a leather sleeve, handle, and his logo.

His custom work today displays years of focus and hard work that are found in each of his products. His Feather Damascus Bowie and Dagger, for example, takes over 20 hours to make. The process involves folding two to four types of steel hundreds of times and soaking it in acid to make a contrasted light-and-dark pattern.

Although it is tedious, Dune feels that crafting the knives and wooden furniture is worth it when he sees the customer’s reaction. He said, “As a maker, I strive to make people happy with what I make and with what they will have for the rest of their lives…and, hopefully, their children and grandchildren’s lives.”

Dune said that his biggest inspiration, however, is when he gets to explain the processes of his craft to

create something personal. Recently, a client from Tulsa wanted to commission Dune to do a Walnut dresser for their home and came to him with a goal budget of $1,500. However, due to its high-quality, the wood alone would cost close to that amount. Rather than turn away the project, Dune took the opportunity to show his client how his dedication to quality materials and personalized craftsmanship creates a piece of furniture that should last you a lifetime. “It will be an heirloom in your family,” is what he said to them. Once they fully understood, the client agreed that the investment for something that would last generations was well worth it. After that, they got to work on designing the piece themselves.

Dune Beard’s journey from a curious teenager to a master craftsman is a testament to the transformative power of passion and perseverance. His dedication to perfecting his craft – whether it’s through the meticulous process of creating a Feather Damascus Bowie or the artistry involved in designing a custom wood dresser – reflects not only his skill but also his commitment to creating heirloom-quality pieces. By choosing to invest in Dune’s craftsmanship, you’re not just purchasing a stylish product; you’re embracing a piece of art that tells a story and carries a legacy. For those seeking to own a unique and enduring creation, or simply wishing to learn more about the art of custom craftsmanship, Dune Beard stands ready to bring that vision to life. Reach out to him and experience firsthand the unparalleled quality and personal touch that define his work.

From custom knives to heirloom furniture, Dune’s creations reflect a dedication to quality and personal touch. His work allows you to invest in a unique piece that tells a story and carries a legacy.

COASTAL LIVING STYLE

Jeff and Wendy Martin introduce their Coastal Living Collection of building to Fayetteville and NWA

PHOTOGRAPHY BY EMILY HENDRICK

A recognized Fayetteville builder for 30 years, Martin Building Group is now blending with Wendy Martin Living to bring classic coastal architecture and living that is rooted in their heritage of harborside and ocean communities. Jeff Martin is the founder of Martin Building Group, serving the roles of builder, developer, and designer as he works alongside his wife, co-founder, and interior designer Wendy.

Jeff & Wendy Martin
“You’re not just providing a product – you’re providing a service that has been researched, practiced, and refined.”

As MBG has grown with the maturing residential landscape in Fayetteville and NWA, so has their purpose and passion to infuse coastal living into their design and building. “Coastal architecture and lifestyle have a rich heritage characterized by a blend of traditional and indoor/outdoor design elements. This type of architecture can be traced earliest to the eastern seaboard communities where design historically emphasized durability, weather resistance, nautical accents and colors. West coast adaptations include traditional and transitional (blended) architectural details with open spaces, long sightlines, and a lot of light. These charming harbor towns not only played a role in shaping our nation’s history, economy, and culture but also continue to exert a lasting influence on coastal architecture today.”

As a custom hom builder, “we’re still serving custom home clients, but we are spending more time

designing/building homes and enclave neighborhoods that are coastal influenced. With the connection of social media and reality shows, our lifestyles, design, and architecture are now moving faster across regions. It’s an honor that we get to build homes for our town’s residents and we’re even more stoked we get to bring coastal ideas and lifestyle for those desiring homes that you typically find on our seaboards.  What we build and how we build is important. You’re not just providing a product – you’re providing a service that has been researched, practiced, and refined.”

The Martin’s have found their lane after several years of home building practice, which has more to do with their life purpose and not just passion for home building. “The Lord brought us from California to here because he knew we needed to understand God’s economy regarding money, possession, and CONTINUED >

wealth which has been a critical part of starting our own business”, says Wendy. “At 24-years old, we were searching for truth in life and we found it right here is NWA- where the community is under-pinned with biblical values creating authentic people, culture, and for us, life change – a gratefulness for his provisions.” The Martins reference “this principle of stewardship and the responsibility of managing what God has provided us. Our purpose is to extend what God has given us in his gospel story and reproduce it in how we live and work.”

“Reconciling our broken nature is not easy and far from perfect, but when we get to help people build houses for their families we find significant value in being a part of their story and journey through life. Often scripture refers to us as “builders.” They say you could view it as being subcontractors erecting God’s custom home that he will dwell in forever.”

Jeff and Wendy emphasize the value of a client’s decision. Wendy says, “This is their biggest and greatest investment. Through that process, we want to get to know them – as people, not just as a client.” Martin Building Group has their structure set “from planning, designing, educating, building, and delivering,” says Jeff. “There are amazing builders in

Northwest Arkansas, and I’m grateful to be part of these craftsmen…and I attribute a lot of my knowledge to a small group of older Fayetteville builders that have been part of the homebuilding community for years. I am grateful to have learned from them”, says Jeff. Something that we’ve shaped our business around is how we deliver not only the products but the whole experience”, says Jeff. We think of the decisions being the surfaces and finishes, but it goes much deeper than that. The Martins look at three variables. Cost, quality, and quantity (size). MBG fits best with those that have quality as one of their top two priorities. As they have built a trade partner team over the years, they mention how

“craftsmanship has become our DNA to ensure we deliver a well-built and sustainable home for years. Much thanks and credit to David Schmidt with ADA Designs as one of our primary architect partners that has served us for 20+ years.”

When the Martins take on a new project, their purpose is creating value for the area. Wendy says, “we’ve been associated with some very great churches that have helped us grow. We wouldn’t be who we are today, [and] we wouldn’t have the business we have if it wasn’t for the Lord… Our faith is what sustains us every day. That’s what we love about coastal living. This is us. This is our heritage, our legacy, from what we grew up in.”

“This is their biggest and greatest investment. Through that process, we want to get to know them – as people, not just as a client.”

MBG’s first Coastal Living neighborhood is The “Port Houses”, an 8-residence enclave located near the heart of Fayetteville encompassing a residential block at the top of VA hill intersecting Woolsey Avenue and Holly Street. These Coastal transitional homes are situated on half-acre lots ranging from 4000-5400sf all original designs. MBG is also in the planning stages of a new waterfront, coastal cottage development, “Twin Coves” on Beaver Lake starting late 2024.

In embracing their coastal heritage and blending it with the unique spirit of Fayetteville, Jeff and Wendy Martin have crafted a legacy of thoughtful, high-quality home building with Martin Building Group. Their dedication to creating spaces that reflect both coastal traditions and the needs of their clients underscores their commitment to excellence. As they continue to shape the landscape of Northwest Arkansas with projects like The Port Houses and upcoming developments on Beaver Lake, the Martins’ passion for their work and community shines through, making each home a testament to their vision and values.

DECORATE WITH THE PERFECT CHARCUTERIE LAYOUT FOR YOUR NEXT EVENT

Stylish Boards with Ozark Charcuterie

Mallory Files, Owner of Ozark Charcuterie

Since 2021, Mallory Files has transformed Ozark Charcuterie into a thriving business, catering charcuterie boards and graze tables for events ranging from intimate date nights to gatherings of hundreds.

“We turn cheese, crackers, and meat into something more luxurious,” says Mallory. “Like every artist, there’s a method in the craft. It’s little details that bring it to the next level. You take something tried and true, and you make it that much better.”

You can order one of Mallory’s boards online or on-site. “I have what I call Chef’s Choice,” she says. “Depending on stock, I stick to my basics. [The customer] can customize it by whether they like something or not. I do cheese lettering customizations and can add cute little toppers.”

Mallory shared her tips for your basic DIY charcuterie project. “Use 2 oz. of cheese and 1 ½ oz. of meat per person, then 1 oz. of each filler item beyond that.” Place your flat hand down on your board. One hand equals one person’s food. This way, you can easily estimate the board size you need and how much food can fit onto it.

“Choose your cheeses first,” says Mallory. “I recommend a brie, Manchego, and cheddar.” This gives you a soft cheese, a higher quality cheese, and a basic staple. For meats, Italian dry salami is a perfect standard. “Then, you’ll hop into fruits. Get your favorites,” says Mallory. “I always stick with grapes, blueberries, and strawberries.” Lastly, add dry goods like dried cranberries, nuts, crackers, and chocolate-covered pretzels. Any fresh herbs to garnish will do wonderfully.

“You find the medium of things that taste good and things that look good, but with practice, you can make just about anything look really good. My favorite thing about making charcuterie is that every board is going to look different. I like the pressure that I feel, and I love being my own boss. That’s something I’ve worked hard to do.”

Styling with Kindred Home Interiors

Transforming Spaces into Visions with

Shelby Reynolds
Kindred Home Interiors Team

Interior design is an art with countless forms of expression. The blank canvas of an empty room can be daunting, with a myriad of aesthetics to choose from. Should you go bold and bright, opt for a pastel palette, aim for a modern twist, or embrace a bohemian flair? Or perhaps you want to incorporate multiple styles into one? This is the specialty of Kindred Home Interiors, an NWA-based interior design firm focused on remodels, new builds, and home furnishings. CONTINUED >

They say the best way to learn is by doing, which is exactly what Shelby Reynolds did. She grew up in a tinkering household, where there was always a project on the horizon. As a young twenty-something, she felt called to pursue her passion for design, and chose to pivot her career. Eager to learn, she went to every design and furniture store she could find and spoke with individuals who could teach her something. The overwhelming advice was to start building her portfolio from the ground up. She progressed from a corporate remodeling program to personal remodeling projects, then to a design firm in Bentonville, working for a local builder, and finally founding Kindred Home Interiors. Today, she leads a collaborative team dedicated to turning clients’ dreams into reality.

The company’s core values are transparency, collaboration, and quality. This trio fosters brilliant teamwork, satisfied clients, and unique results. Each project starts with transparency, as the team prepares a presentation reviewed with the client to ensure alignment. Shelby operates on trust, requiring clients to pay upfront to maintain honesty and keep the project on track. Teamwork truly makes the dream work, and Shelby has assembled a dedicated, creative, and hardworking team. She blends the efficiency of her corporate experience with a small business environment to create a well-oiled machine. Quality is evident in the exceptional craftsmanship and the condition of every piece they use.

Kindred Home Interiors is truly a special experience, as shown in their work and affirmed by their clients. “Kindred helped us blend two polar-opposite looks. My husband likes modern minimalist while I prefer shabby-chic and eclectic. Shelby knew how to blend my love for nature with his urban vibe, and we’ve landed on a look encompassing both styles.”

With a background in corporate design, Shelby relishes the freedom of running her own firm, where she can creatively choose local tradesmen to support her community. She differentiates design from decorating by describing design as creating layouts and selecting materials, while decorating involves “the God-given talent of having a good eye” for sourcing furniture, accents, and artwork that bring a room together. The Kindred team possesses this natural talent, as Shelby notes, “We LOVE to customize our spaces & have fun with them.” They skillfully use color, patterns, and textures to curate unique spaces, balancing fun and quirky elements with minimalistic touches. Essentially, Shelby and

the Kindred team blend design and decoration to create balanced, personalized spaces that reflect their clients’ unique personalities.

For Kindred Home Interiors, it’s so much greater than picking paint colors and selecting tile styles. It’s the relationships built with clients that means the most to Shelby and the team. It’s about helping someone love the space they’re in, day in and day out. It’s about bringing a dream to life and exceeding expectations. Ultimately, it’s the joy of transforming a house into a cherished home.

EXPRESSING ART, FASHION, AND COMMUNITY WITH OPEN ARMS

PHOTOGRAPHY BY EMILY HENDRICK

INTERFORM, formerly known as NWA Fashion Week and Arkansas Arts & Fashion, nurtures creative passion and allows fashion artists of all levels to curate their talents with a variety of classes, studio sessions, and events. In 2021, three departments - LEARN, MAKE, and SHOW were established within INTERFORM. By January 2024, the MAKE department transitioned into a for-profit entity named RHIZOME, a subsidiary of INTERFORM that serves to support INTERFORM’s mission through small-batch manufacturing.

CONTINUED >

INTERFORM offers 3 to 4-month apparel education courses, from basic to advanced, and Fashion Design. The organization prides itself on the range of demographics found at INTERFORM and how one can immerse oneself, recognize and develop their talents, and work in a safe, welcoming space. Basana Chhetri, Vice President of Programming and Community Engagement, says, “When I launched this [LEARN] program, I started with ten Marshallese ladies who wanted to learn sewing. It kept growing. We have students from the Latinx community, Congolese refugees, and all types of demographics.”

INTERFORM hosts about 80 students for regular classes, with an additional 40-50 individuals –including both students and the public – utilizing the open studio hours every week. Robin Wallis Atkinson is the founder and CEO of INTERFORM. “Robin established our style and fashion forum,” says Basana. “INTERFORM is here because of her guidance and vision.” With RHIZOME, you can design your style and easily multiply your production progress. In Show, you have the chance to sell your items in their storefront, Atelier, or feature them in exhibits like NWA Fashion Week and ASSEMBLY, INTERFORM’s art & fashion biennial.

EMERGE, INTERFORM’s Designer Residence program, provides 13 sessions for mentoring local designers, allowing them the opportunity to exhibit their collections at the NWA Fashion Week Fall 2024 at the Fayetteville Library. They recently hosted the annual Teen Fashion Design Bootcamp #4 and also worked with Canopy in hosting workshops in August for Afghani and Syrian women in the first week of August.

“Students bring their own originality,” says Basana. “After that, they start to shine. They know that it’s okay to express whatever they have in mind. They feel safe, and creating that environment is key. People come here for that one place that’s not home and not work. Inclusivity, understanding, and respecting people as who they are is the way to nurture that creativity. One of the reasons why it’s possible is because we don’t charge. Not having that worry, going to a place where you’re welcome, and everything you’ve created becomes yours; that’s what’s most important.”

Priceless Thrills: Fayetteville’s Retail Jewel

From Decades Past to Modern Style at Cheap Thrills

Vintage clothing is arguably the best kind of so-called  retail therapy, which experts define as “shopping for the main purpose of making yourself feel better.”

For the last 32 years, Fayetteville’s iconic vintage apparel store Cheap Thrills has not only provided a lot of retail therapy to customers, but it’s also put millions of dollars back into the local economy and empowered people of all ages to discover their own unique style and to embrace their “weird,” so to speak.

Keeping Fayetteville funky, indeed.

Greta Allendorf, who bought the business in 2017, says she immediately felt that sense of “everyone belongs here no matter what your style is” when she first visited Cheap Thrills as an 11-year-old, right after it opened.

“My family always bought things secondhand, but when I walked into Cheap Thrills — the original location on Block Street — that first time, I was in love. Experienced Denim had also just opened, so every time we came to town, those two stores were our favorite places,” she recalled.

Since 1997, Cheap Thrills has drawn shoppers to 120 S. East Ave. just off the square; the store is brimming with every type of clothing, footwear, accessories, and outerwear imaginable from every decade of the past century. The store’s clientele is not limited to locals, either; people travel to Fayetteville from as far away as New York City to shop at Cheap Thrills, the “jewel” of Northwest Arkansas’ retail scene.

From the entrance, a visitor might first notice 1940s-era cardigan sweaters, mint-condition 1950s bowling shirts, and fur pillbox hats from the ’60s — or they might be bowled over by the enormous selection of jeans from each of the last 5 decades.

Thousands upon thousands of dresses, tops, and bottoms, organized by era; rows of gently worn shoes and boots in styles ranging from Pollyanna to RuPaul; cat-eye glasses, fur mittens, and jewelry pieces from the Edwardian and Art Deco styles to 1960s chokers and vintage ’70s mood rings...

The store is overflowing with history in the form of apparel; Allendorf meets with individual sellers every hour, all day long, three days a week. Last year, Cheap Thrills paid out $350,000 for vintage clothing and accessories brought in by approximately 1,000 individuals — about 40% of whom have made a business out “picking,” or traveling around looking for vintage finds to sell to stores like hers, she said.

Custom mural of original owner, Harriet Wells, who recently passed away

Allendorf says Cheap Thrills played a big role in her own life as a young adult, discovering how to match her outward appearance to her character and personality, building her style alongside her self-esteem — and bucking mass retail and fast fashion trends in the process.

It’s perhaps the biggest intangible benefit of vintage clothing: Countless teenagers and adults come in for the first time a little unsure about themselves, about what they’re looking for, about their “style identity,” if you will — and at Cheap Thrills, they will be encouraged and assisted in figuring out how to look and feel great in whatever vintage pieces best suit their personality and lifestyle.

“We give our customers the freedom to grow into their own style and to find unique items that nobody else is going to be wearing, and that’s empowering.”

DARCY APPAREL: BACK TO BASICS

Building a wardrobe that works for your lifestyle

A universally frustrating experience is having a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear. Imagine: you’re running late, a heap of clothes on the floor, contemplating whether to burn the entire closet and start over.

Darcy Apparel aims to provide artful attire, vintage basics, and eclectic home goods. They focus on natural products and sustainability – including their in-house label designed in Fayetteville and ethically made in L.A. The owner loves elevated basics—versatile pieces with unique details. Here are her tips for a timeless wardrobe!

BUILDING A LASTING WARDROBE:

Invest in great denim, especially 100% cotton. Linen and corduroy work year-round, and cotton sweaters are perfect for layering. Add print pieces and artful textures, like a ribbed knit sweater over a cotton tank, to spice up your basics.

Darcy Apparel aims to provide artful attire, vintage basics, and eclectic home goods. They focus on natural products and sustainability – including their in-house label designed in Fayetteville and ethically made in L.A.

THE MEANING OF “TIMELESS”:

Pieces that endure due to their fabric, structure, or elevated look. Examples include a 60’s French striped shirt, a unisex sweater you or your boyfriend can wear, and 90’s Diane Keaton.

STYLING VS. WEARING:

The key to styling is adding your personal flair. Darcy says, “I’m a simple stylist, but I like juxtaposition, like a flowy top with oversized denim or a heel with a casual outfit.” Add personal elements to make the outfit your own!
