Hello!
We’re Samantha and Joey, owners of Walden Run! We're an Iowa-based designer and woodcrafter that handmakes wooden jewelry, furniture, and custom gifts with organic materials and modern designs in Red Oak, Iowa.
Our Story
When there’s waste, there’s potential. Since 2019, Walden Run has been rescuing trees in Iowa that have come down naturally and from local agricultural clearings, that otherwise would've been burned or sent to the landfill, by turning the wood into consumer works of art.

Walden Run was founded because we love knowing where our products come from. We’ve been on a mission to work with locally sourced organic materials to bring supply-chain accountability into our processing of home goods.
