Buitron especially enjoys recycling pieces pulled from Dumpsters or left along swales for bulk pickup. ”Anytime you don’t need to cut down a tree to build a piece of furniture is a real cool thing,” he said.<\/p>\n
Some of the artist’s designs, such as a curvy countertop with a bead-board front, are built from a mix-and-match blend of items. On a free-standing counter piece, Buitron used shades of green as a backdrop, then hand-painted an orchid tree. He also is happy to incorporate custom elements into pieces, such as the replica of a client’s boat he applied to a table, including the canvas for the Bimini top.<\/p>\n
Buitron’s interest in furniture was launched after an auto accident. A former delivery driver, he wanted to pursue work that was more creative and less physically demanding. For a while he hawked his creations at art shows. Then he set up his shop.<\/p>\n
Buitron also designs items — he’s particularly fond of Adirondack-style chairs, and often incorporates decorative elements, such as birds, into them. On one, the side pieces are shaped like fish. On another, the middle back slat is topped with a three-dimensional pineapple painted in green and gold. His whimsical three-dimensional accent pieces are made from recycled milk cartons and plastic soda bottles.<\/p>\n
And if one particular animal looks especially lifelike dashing around the displays, that’s Cashmere — the bunny often accompanies Buitron to work.<\/p>\n
