Don is absolutely worth waiting for. The store isn’t huge and there’s not an enormous selection to peruse, but what is there is awesome. Don doesn’t focus much on the antique side of his business at the moment and has chosen to concentrating more on making his FANTASTIC wooden bowls, plates and cutting boards. If he’s not busy you MUST ask for a tour of his workshop.

Very nice, laid back, and conversational owner. Interesting variety of antique furniture, dishes, etc. Showed us his shop where he creates his beautiful woodwork bowls, plates and utensils. Gorgeous combination of hard woods and turquoise. Bought a beautiful Rosewood bowl. Thank you Don!!

The owner was putting out the Open sign as we drove by. We love finding local businesses. He welcomed us in and explained a lot about his wooden bowls. One of his gorgeous bowls with turquiose accents will be headed back home to SC. I love knowing the bowl was handmade and meeting the artist. The building history was interesting also.

This is a local spot in a 120 year old building with great antiques and hand-made wooden bowls and other handcraft. If you are driving through Tularosa this is a stop I would highly recommend. The wood products are high quality at southern NM prices. I promise you'll be impressed (if they inventory).

I've purchased many beautiful pieces of art from Don along with antiques. His work is exquisite and everyone who has received one of these pieces from me has treasured it. The prices are great also. Don't miss this gem if traveling through the beautiful village of Tularosa.

My favorite place to search out great antiques. I picked up a chair and a first generation Brownie Camera (ca. 1916) and both function perfectly and look awesome! Don is the owner, and if you stop in ask to see his handmade bowls. Each one is unique, and he inlays turquoise into the nooks and crannies of each one...they're something really special, and they're on my Christmas list!
