Pieces made to hold meaning — and last.
Whisky Splinter Woodworks grew from a lifelong desire to build something real with my hands. During a difficult season, the shop became a place to focus, heal, and turn emotion into something tangible. Today I build hardwood pieces designed for the moments that matter most — gifts, milestones, family gatherings, and everyday rituals worth elevating.

About the maker
Whisky Splinter Woodworks is built on family influence, personal perseverance, and a respect for craftsmanship. Woodworking became my way to slow down, focus, and create something lasting — the kind of piece you’re proud to use, display, or gift to someone you love.
I favor rich hardwoods like walnut, cherry, and maple, and selectively use exotic woods as accents to add depth, contrast, and character. Every piece is built with care, patience, and an eye for balance — beauty, durability, and purpose.
