It is with profound sorrow that we share the loss of JR Day, master craftsman, artist, and the heart and hands behind Ranchland Rustics Ltd.

JR passed away suddenly on Friday, December 19th.

JR was more than a builder of furniture - he was a steward of history. He believed old wood carried stories, and through his work, he gave those stories new life. Every barn beam, every weathered board, every hand-forged detail mattered to him. Nothing was rushed. Nothing was artificial. Every piece was built with integrity, patience, and pride - built to last, just as he believed things should be.

JR loved the West - its grit and honesty. He loved working with his hands, early mornings, the quiet of the shop, and the satisfaction of creating something real in a world that often feels anything but. Ranchland Rustics was never just a business to him - it was his life’s work and his legacy.

We are deeply grateful to every customer, collector, and friend who believed in his work and helped carry his art into homes across the country. Your support meant more to him than he ever said out loud.

I will be sharing a link to JR’s obituary and information about his services, along with a photo, for those who wish to honor him, remember him, and celebrate a life well lived.

Thank you for loving his work.

With JR’s passing, the sun now sets on Ranchland Rustics Ltd.
There are limited, one-of-a-kind pieces still available, each handcrafted by JR and bearing the mark of his craftsmanship and soul.

Still Thinking About That Artwork?

Do you remember that piece?

The one that made you slow down.
The one you walked past… and then circled back to.
The one that stayed with you long after you left our booth.

Some pieces don’t leave when the booth does.
They stay with you.

That’s because some pieces are meant to find their home in their own time.
Select pieces you may remember seeing before, along with new Western artwork, are now available - ready for Christmas, with delivery options available.

Every piece we offer is made with intention, rooted in history, and meant to be lived with. These aren’t trends or décor - they’re stories, crafted to last.

As we wrap up the year, we want to say thank you, truly, for your interest, your conversations, and your support of Ranchland Rustics. Whether you brought a piece home this year or simply took the time to appreciate the craftsmanship, it means more to us than you know.

From our family to yours, we wish you a Christmas filled with warmth, peace, and moments that feel like home.

With gratitude,

JR & Rosalind
