Past Work

A Look at What I've Made

I've been woodworking out of Ada, Michigan for years, drawn to the craft for the same reason every time: natural hardwood has a story in every grain. Whether it's a walnut end-grain board with tight brick geometry or a purpleheart-and-maple mosaic that took weeks to plan, each piece is built to last a lifetime and look great doing it.

Everything below was made by hand, one piece at a time. No two are exactly alike.

End-Grain Cutting Boards

End-grain boards are my specialty — they're easier on knife edges, self-healing, and incredibly striking. Each design is planned out before the first cut is made.

Personalized & Engraved Pieces

Custom engraving turns a beautiful board into a meaningful gift — great for weddings, anniversaries, corporate gifts, or just a personal touch.

Furniture

Beyond the kitchen, I also build custom furniture — tables, shelving, and more. Each piece is designed around the space it's going into.
