About the Owner

Texas Iron Wood Furniture owner John Tatum is a professional welder with over 40 years of experience in fabrication. Woodworking is a passionate hobby that he’s always perfecting, and he’s always on the hunt to discover better tools and techniques. Tatum and his team create one-of-a-kind whole wood benches, tables, shelving, and other lovely household furnishings, each rendered to showcase the natural beauty of local wood grain. We believe that this dedication to quality and craftsmanship really goes above and beyond most modern furniture, and you can be sure that our creations last significantly longer, too.

Texas Iron Wood Furniture crafts its pieces from Live Edge Wood Slabs, which are created in-house at our Temple, TX workshop. From the rugged Texas landscape to a beautiful table for a family gathering, these local furniture pieces capture the essence of the Texas spirit and the countryside we love. Custom pieces are our favorite, and we regularly work closely with customers to discover new and exciting ways to add natural beauty and elegance to their homes or businesses.
