Arkins Park Colorado Quarry
We use a lot of stone that is native to Colorado. You may be wondering where we acquire our stone. The Colorado Buff and Red Flagstone come from a local quarry right here in Loveland. The stone is in natural slabs on the ground and the quarry extracts it from its location.
They are able to find pieces large enough to furnish our dining sets and smaller pieces to make chairs. A rock quarry is one type of mine not located underground. The quarry is usually in an area known to be abundant in particular rocks or formations of rocks. The terms "rock quarry" and "gravel pit" are often confused or used interchangeably.
Mining of most rocks is for use in construction projects. Rock quarries are located around the globe. A quarry usually has a heavy concentration of one particular type of rock like limestone, slate, granite or marble.

Where in the World is Stone 2 Furniture?
This incredible 7 piece dining set can be found on the second story deck of our client's house in Beaver Creek Colorado. For this delivery we needed to hire a company with a reach forklift to lift the furniture onto this high deck so we could set it up.

Dwayne Cranford's Bio
As a child Dwayne spent hours cutting and shaping pieces of cardboard paper to create 3D models of motorcycles. Carefully forming each part to fit the bike perfectly and create a replica of an authentic motorcycle. Dwayne's artist talents emerged at a very young age. A self taught artist Dwayne S. Cranford, a Colorado native learned his welding kills in a foundry and took them with him to serve in the United States Army. Later Dwayne spent his days installing natural gas pipeline. On his days off, as a hobby he began applying his welding skills to create steel sculptures. His figurative sculptures are created from materials such as bike chains, concrete nails and scrap steel that had been discarded. 7 years ago he began combining stone with the metal to create durable, weatherproof furniture.
Cranford's work has been shown around Colorado, Nevada, California, Texas, Wyoming and in other parts of the United States. It can be found at The Inn At Aspen, Aspen (CO), The Best Western Pioneer Court, Lusk (WY) and numerous private collections.
Artist Statement
My rock chairs have been compared to something found on the set of the Flintstones, but great care is given to ensure they are both aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. The stone added to discarded steel results in functional furniture inspired by Mother Nature. They are not only weatherproof, but integrate easily into landscapes and cityscapes without intruding on the surrounding beauty.
