About NBB
Nils Reid was raised in the rural forests of Vermont and Arkansas. His passion for wood and building stems from childhood when he spent his summers working with his grandfather tending to 300 acres of forest and maintaining the family homestead. Always a part-time builder, Nils came to Sacramento in 2014 and and made it his full-time dream.
"Newton Booth Builds was created out of a desire to do what I love and combine art with functionality. From my shop in the Newton Booth neighborhood of Sacramento, California I hand select new, salvaged and reclaimed lumber for home accessories and furniture. Each piece is handmade, one-of-a-kind, and a specific expression of its maker. We work with local lumber and recycled wood sources to bring you the highest quality, sustainable products."
