About us:
BLACKTAIL STUDIO SPECIALIZES IN UTILIZING NATIVE HARDWOODS, SALVAGED LUMBER, AND UP-CYCLED MATERIALS TO CRAFT CUSTOM FURNITURE, HOME DÉCOR, AND UNIQUE GIFTS.
Over the years Blacktail Studio has become much more that custom furniture and home decor. Cam has a true passion for education. And while selling furniture is great, his true love is sharing his knowledge with those who want to learn. In the hope that he can inspire the next generation of craftsman in an ever shrinking industry. Blacktail will never stop creating and innovating furniture and functional art. We see it as a perfect marriage with education. If you order a custom piece of furniture there is a good chance it will become an instructional how-to video seen by millions. We also understand the need for privacy, so just let us know if this is something you would not prefer.
Since we are located in the beautiful PNW we are fortunate enough to have access to some of the best hardwoods in the world. We specialize in live edge, epoxy resin river tables, and unique solid wood furniture and wall art. Our client list ranges from first time home owners to large commercial spaces. 95% of what we do is custom, so you will never have to apologize for wanting your piece exactly how you want it. Exactly how you want it is all we do. We hope you enjoy exploring our site and a get a chance to see our past projects, current inventory available for sale, or request a custom quote to start your own custom creation.

Our Story
Cam and Elana started Blacktail Studio in 2016 after a lifetime of woodcraft for Cam and a lifetime in the furniture business for Elana. In fact, Elana's family has been in the furniture business for over 70 years!
Both Cam and Elana grew up in Oregon, eventually meeting in Corvallis where they both received degrees from Oregon State University (Go Beavs). Elana majored in marketing and Cam was in the college of Forestry. Unbeknown to them at the time how much both of those would assist in starting Blacktail!
Now married, Cam and Elana live in Portland, Oregon with their perfect pup, Riggs, and their equally loveable cat, Turkey. When not running a business Cam and Elana love everything Oregon. Skiing, hiking with the dog, trips to Sunriver, and loving a cloudy day at the coast.
