The work behind the piece

Made to last.
Restored to matter.

A factory cart deserves more than a new coat of stain. Each LintHead commission begins with an authentic factory cart from Greenville, South Carolina’s textile-mill heritage. Its original wood is evaluated board by board and hand-selected, then the cart is rebuilt, fitted and finished with skilled carpentry.

Choose your stain, available hardware and stencil treatment. We work through the details with you, including a separate freight quote, before you commit.
