16 November 2018 \\ Avery Ranch Living Avery Ranch Living // November 2018 17 His last project turned him toward handcrafting home décor LOCAL ARTISAN items from repurposed pallet wood (wine cork boards, tables, crates, shelving, etc.). Over 98% of the materials in his designs are rescued from a trash disposal and then subsequently crafted into handmade home furnishings and decorations. The remaining 1-2% are “new” items, including glue and fasteners. Marlon’s passion is giving new life to old wood, making it into something that others can enjoy while keeping these pallets out of our landfills.
Marlon grew up 250 miles from Austin in a small farming/ranching community in West Texas called Roby. It was there where he learned his woodworking skills — many of which were self-taught. Marlon gained enough experience in woodworking to make structural repairs on his dad’s farm while saving his dad from the expense of hiring an expensive contractor. In a small town where resources were scarce, Marlon says, “We learned to make do with what we had, or we made what we needed out of available materials. So out of necessity, I learned woodworking. As it turned out, I really enjoyed it too.”
After Marlon completed his bachelor’s degree and settled in Austin, MEET MARLON TERRY, TX, he found himself wandering through a small import furniture shop that specialized in items made from mesquite wood. It was in that moment that he realized he had unlimited access to oceans of this stuff around his hometown of Roby! There he started WOODWORKING ARTISAN cutting down big mesquite trees and milling them into lumber, HANDCRAFTING HOME DÉCOR ITEMS which he used to make anything from his family’s dining room FROM REPURPOSED PALLET WOOD table to heirloom keepsake boxes given to his groomsmen at his wedding. To support his “mesquite habit,” he sold excess lumber to other furniture makers and woodworking artisans. Marlon adds, “If you’ve ever seen mesquite trees in the wild, then you know that it is hard to find one bigger than eight inches in diameter and straight enough to use for making lumber.”
Becoming a parent changed Marlon’s priorities. When his son was born, he helped his wife convert the “outbuilding” in the backyard of his old house (which served as his woodshop) into a beautiful and spacious playroom for his son. During that time, all the woodworking equipment was moth-balled in hopes that it would be used at a later date.
Fast-forward seven years (which included a move to Avery Ranch), and Marlon started to regain interest in the craft. But this time, it was all about recycling the pallets. He now has unlimited access to them at his job, and if he doesn’t take them home and recycle them, they end up in the dumpster. He has his pick of any pallet material in the “bone pile” that’s scheduled to go to the dumpster. So, he “rescues” the wood that he needs to build the wine cork boards, tables, crates, shelves, etc., and — with the support of his wife — he finds ways to craft home furnishings and décor items that have a rustic appeal.
Marlon has been working on pallet wood projects in the garage of his Avery Ranch home for a few months now, and it seems to be working out — aside from the occasional excess sawdust that finds its way into the kitchen and other areas of the house where it doesn’t belong. Marlon Terry is a resident of Parkside The work space may be less than half of Marlon’s original and a woodworking artisan. Over his woodshop, but he says it’s still a good therapeutic experience lifetime, he’s custom-crafted a variety for him to get out there and fashion something new and useful out of material that most think is meant for the local of furniture and home décor items out landfill.

From Mrs. Bindel: In a household with two busy kids in the tween/teen phase, our family time is more limited than it was during those early years. When they were younger, I was always on the lookout for games and activities to occupy the long days. As the adage goes, the days were long, but the years were short, and now I find myself looking for quality entertainment for the whole family for those much rarer occasions when we can pull together a family movie night or game night. My sixth-grade students at Pearson Ranch Middle School will be sharing their reviews here this year, giving ideas for entertainment for the whole family. We hope you enjoy!

A life change 15 years ago led Dwayne to an independent auto shop. “Within one month, I increased the shop’s revenue by 57%, which, of course, made the owner very happy. But he sat me down and said something that no other owner had ever said before. He said, ‘Great job, Dwayne, but I DO NOT CARE ABOUT MONEY. WHAT I CARE ABOUT IS HAPPY CUSTOMERS.’ What he meant was to focus on building great relationships with superior customer care and service. Changing this mindset would not only build his business to greatness, but in the process, we would create superfans! It worked. Within eight years, we expanded to two locations.
