Handmade in the Pacific Northwest
Heirloom-grade woodworking, built to be used.
I design and build cutting boards, cigar boxes, and custom gift pieces from hardwoods like walnut, cherry, and purpleheart. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, made to be handled, gifted, and passed down.

About the maker
I'm a woodworker who obsesses over clean miters, tight splines, and finishes that make grain glow. Every piece that leaves my shop is something I'd be proud to gift to my own family.
I work primarily with domestic hardwoods—walnut, cherry, maple, and oak—with occasional splashes of exotic lumber like purpleheart. Projects range from everyday cutting boards to cigar boxes and small heirloom pieces.
