Tree of Life Bench
Forged from 3/16" steel and finished to weather the elements, the Tree of Life Bench brings depth, durability, and symbolism to any outdoor space. A universal emblem of strength, growth, and connection, the design draws from ancient myth and spirit while standing strong in the present.
Protected with a flame-sprayed zinc layer and sealed with marine-grade epoxy and color-shift paint, it’s made to endure seasons—and stories.
Handcrafted, Built to Last
Forged in Durham, NC nearly 30 years ago, we’re still doing things the way they should be done: handcrafted, built to last. We don't just crank stuff out; we put our sweat and skill into every piece we make. Crafting products that withstand the demand of salt, wind, and sun, and other forces of nature like rogue squirrels and toddlers with melting ice cream cones.
Why "Cricket Forge"?
Many cultures view the presence of a cricket in the household as a symbol of good luck, where the cricket is the bearer of wealth, companionship, and happiness. The “Cricket on the hearth” scenario is usually experienced in colder months, where crickets often seek warmth indoors, sometimes on or near a fireplace. The “Forge,” aspect is in reference to the crickets that tend to hang around the recently-used blacksmith forges in the Cricket Forge shop.
