LUCAS BELTON OPENS RUSTIC to RECLAIMED

Friends, family and future woord artisans of all sizes gathered last Friday to welcome, enjoy and explore  Lucas Belton's new artisan wood shop studio. Adult eyes opened wide upon Belton's latest dining table creations, while future architects constructed model tiny house apartment buildings, see picture above.

 Lucas brought light on the fact there's  a new crop of artisans, creating some old growth products establishing Edenton as an artisan craftsman epicenter increasing the town’s historic notoriety.

Lucas Belton  is one of those craftsman.  

Lucas  knows wood. All types of wood. He also knows the characteristics of the wood he cherishes. The tools of his trade, along with his unending talents, turn the wood in his newly opened artisan wood shop studio into pieces to admire for generations. Whether looking for a home entertainment cabinet, a dining table or other pieces, Belton custom creates each piece.

Belton is a craftsman of the highest standards. At a recent open house the artist previewed his work as music filled the space along with guests enjoying pulled pork sandwiches and all of the accompaniments.  

Rustic to Reclaimed is one of town’s newest enterprises. Lucas had this to say after the open house.

“For those that couldn’t attend, we missed you. Thanks to Kevin Brinson for the great music, Colony Tire for the support and help with setup, and Layden's Country Store in Belvidere for the perfect pig. It was a great time with good friends and definitely something I am proud of,” Lucas said. “I could not have made it happen, or even come close, without Kristy White Belton(who had her hands full helping me hold it all together), my right hand at the shop Joseph Forehand(wrapping up all the loose ends), and my bestie Matt White at Innerbanks Outboardsfor doing the actual cooking while I ran around like crazy.  My Custom Swagdelivered the company logo shirts (in short order) as promised for everyone to take home to round out the perfect event. Couldn’t be happier or more excited about the future and the support from my friends, mentors, and the amazing people in this Town of EdentonThank you everyone.”
