Own A Piece of History from Bespoke Abode

Martha's Vineyard is highly anticipating the summer visit of the recently restored Charles W. Morgan Whalership. As the last whalership of a distinctive era, she will begin her 38th voyage this summer, making a three day stop in Vineyard Haven around June 18th. 

Also with high anticipation, Bespoke Abode is excited to announce that we now carry Weathered Benches Co., handmade products crafted from wood discovered at the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston. This very same, historical wood was used for the recent restoration of the Charles W. Morgan.

This wood, which was found in 2010, had been buried in the 1800's to preserve it for the eventual reconstruction of the USS Constitution or the USS Constellation. However, as the Boston Globe Explains, by "the mid-1880s, the shipyard began making all-metal boats, and then, in 1914, on the brink of World War I, the timber pond was covered to make room for diesel storage tanks."

In today's design world, reclaimed wood with a story to tell is highly coveted, espeically when it is combined with outstanding craftmanship. The massive naval timbers of live oak and white oak have been used by the Weathered Benches Co. to handcraft beautiful benches, coffee tables, and accessories. We currently have benches and beautifully cribbage boards in stock.

We invite you to visit Bespoke Abode to see the uniqure pieces for yourself, and also to mark your calendar for June 18th for the opportunity to see the the Charles W. Morgan, the last remaining whalership.

Triptych: A Statement Piece

We love triptychs at Bespoke Abode! Triptych, meaning "three-fold" in Greek, can be a true statement piece for the home. They tend to catch the eye and transform spaces, creating the illusion of a window with a surreal view out. Here a few of our favorite that you'll find in our store this spring.
