Our Story
A few years ago I started a woodworking business, and it’s been full of welcomed challenges. I've had the opportunity to work with people locally to design custom pieces, along with some friends and family. A lot of times when I meet people and tell them I'm a woodworker, the responses I get are "do you make (insert random thing here)?" Or "I've had an idea for something I've wanted but can't find it anywhere, do you think you could make such and such?" To which my replies are either "yes, I do", or "I'm sure I could".
Its been really satisfying helping people bring their ideas to fruition, along with some of my own. Also, a lot of my orders have involved other mediums and skills that I don't possess, but my wife Lindsey does. Whether it be a custom painting, wood burning, sculpted components or leatherwork, I've been very fortunate that my better half is extremely talented and we're able to work together to turn out whatever work has been commissioned. My job is pretty awesome, and I'm grateful that we get to share in the art of it.
That being said, one thing I haven't been great about is self-promoting. I've been thinking about starting a YouTube channel to document builds from start to finish. I'm finishing up my last two orders, so, with holidays fast approaching, if you have an idea for a special gift for someone, or you like anything you see and would like it made to order, please dm me and we'll see what we can come up with! For example, some of my/our builds include:
