About the Shop
Handcrafted in Ohio · One maker, one piece at a time
Hi, I'm Andrew.
Growing up, I was always fascinated by all of the tools in my Dad's workshop. From an early age, I was always helping my dad fix one thing or another around the house and like my most kids, I hated it. But as I got older I began to understand the value of knowing how to fix something yourself, and to appreciate the satisfying feeling of doing something with your own hands instead of asking for help. As I continued to grow my knowledge past my college years, I started to demand more from the things I made. I didn't want to just make something that worked, I wanted to make something that was beautiful, that would last, and that I could be proud of.
While I would never consider myself as a 'born artist', I have always loved making things. My goal for this shop is to create pieces that I am proud of and that will be cherished by the people who buy them. I want to make things that are not only functional but also beautiful, and that will last for generations to come. As a sole propiertor business, you can have confidence that every piece is made with care and attention to detail, and that I stand behind my work. I am committed to providing excellent customer service and to creating pieces that you will be excited to own or to gift to your loved ones.
I'm always interested in trying out something new or challenging, so if you have an idea for a custom piece, don't hesitate to reach out. I love working with customers to bring their ideas to life and to create something truly unique and special.
Wood that means something.
As a lifelong environmentalist, I feel a responsibility to ensure that I source nearly all of my hardwood from small local mills and individual craftspeople in the greater Cincinnati area — people who share a commitment to responsible land stewardship. While I will use the occasional exotic hardwood for a special piece, my preference is to source locally, and to work with wood that was sustainably harvested. Local varieties available include walnut, cherry, maple, oak, cedar and hickory, among others.
Have something specific in mind? Custom orders are my favorite kind of work — bring me a challenge and let's figure it out together.
