I'm Paul Rodden. I build tables, desks, beds and dressers in a small shop in The Woodlands. Every piece is made to order, for the room it's going into.

The name

Twelve apostles. One mountain range.

The twelve in 12 Sierras stands for the twelve apostles. The mountains in the logo are the Sangre de Cristo range in northern New Mexico.

Together they say what I believe: that the apostles, and all who follow Christ, do all things through his sacrifice and salvation.

An iPhone app for building furniture yourself

It's the furniture estimator I built for my own shop. Start from a piece's overall size and get the cut list, laid out on the boards you already own, plus a buy list for the lumber you still need to finish the project.
