About Me
My woodworking business began about two years ago, but the love behind it goes back much further. I’ve always enjoyed working with my hands and using tools, a skill and mindset I first developed during my 33 years in dentistry and working in the dental laboratory. That experience taught me precision, patience, and pride in doing careful, high-quality work.


Some of my earliest memories are of spending time beside my dad in his woodshop and learning how to use different tools. Those moments stayed with me, and woodworking has become a meaningful way to feel connected to him still. Every project I complete carries a sense of that connection, along with the satisfaction of creating something useful and beautiful from raw materials.


I also love the artistic side of woodworking. There is something deeply rewarding about watching a project come together piece by piece, from a simple idea into a finished work of art. It brings me peace to create, and it gives me a wonderful outlet for both skill and creativity.


Today, I’m proud to offer professionally made handmade wood products and gifts that are crafted with care, attention to detail, and a deep respect for the materials I use. Whether it’s a cutting board, coaster set, clock, or another custom piece, my goal is to create something lasting that people will enjoy and be proud to give or own.
