Sticks N’ Stones owners, Chris and Val Jaf feris, have been making and selling furniture for over 30 years. Their unique designs can be attributed to the amazing work that nature creates. From junipers to aspens, they design, cut, and polish beautiful pieces into functional tables, lamps, chairs, bed frames, and accessories.

Ever ything they make is one-of-a-kind! Chris specializes in live-edge organic wood furniture using wood sourced from around the United States. His furniture incorporates the natural beauty of the wood to create unique pieces of furniture and lamps.

All the aspen wood Jaf feris use come right from the Estes Valley thanks to a par tnership with Cheley Colorado Camps. Many of the pieces also include turquoise inlays, in what could ver y well be the most wonder ful combination of sticks and stones one could imagine.

Jaf feris got his star t in Florida in 1973, at the time he sourced all of his products from the rivers of Nor thern Florida, where he found ever ything from unique woods to mastodon molars buried in the river silt.

Jaf feris made his way to Estes Park in the late 1980s. Like most, he was impressed with the aspen trees and twisted pines found in the valley. So he opened a retail store at 907 Moraine Ave. that featured these trees as furniture and home décor.

Estes Park that really is unique,” Jaf feris said. “I find aspen here that you won’t find anywhere else.”

In 1998 Jaf feries changed locations in Estes Park, from the 907 Moraine building to the 380 E Elkhorn Ave. spot, which they remain in today. But several years ago Jaf feries was able to reacquire the space at 907 Moraine Ave. This second location will be able to feature some of the larger outdoor, dining room, and bedroom furniture sets.

In addition to Chris’ work, Sticks N’ Stones also features 20 other ar tists who work with natural materials.
