Peg and Awl

Fishtown Riverwards, Philadelphia PA

Margaux and Walter Kent.

Husband and Wife with a boy called Søren and two kitties called Bjorn and Lambert. We love to find olde things and turn them into new things! We have joined forces in this new shoppe, Peg and Awl to create treasures for the Home!

We rummage through the neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods for housing materials like the pine floor joists that we have so far used in the shoppe to turn into new treasures. Will also do a lot of decoupage using antique books from centuries past.

Each piece that we make is one of a kind. Many of our pieces are made from Olde Growth Pine joists and beams from 19th century houses in Philadelphia and the surrounding area. These pieces still bare the beautiful marks of a life past such as hard cut nails, blackened nail holes, knots and saw marks.

All of our wood is finished with 100 percent Pure Tung Oil, a penetrating oil made from the nut of the tung tree and provides a natural, tough, water resistant finish.
