Old Roots
Railyard Studios Ryan Cole is a cancer diagnostician by day and a father of six daughters by night. His own private Idaho “man cave” allows escape into the rightbrained beauty of life. Expressed through original designs with exclusively local and reclaimed materials, the old becomes new. A steady flow of striking originality emanates from the “cave,” which settles the mind and brings lasting beauty to others.
We are artisans, but we are also hard working railroaders. We’ve sweat on the tracks with a shovel in our hands and the sound of a spiking hammer ringing in our ears. We take pride in our work. And it is with pride that we pass it from our hands to yours.

Sabi Woods
Jon Roberts retired from a 35year career as a high school biology and art teacher. He has always had a great appreciation for life and the beauty and design in nature. He made his first burl wood table some 45 years ago. Through the years, he has collected some great pieces; those for the WDC are the most exceptional in character, wood grain, and size that he has ever seen or produced.
