About Us

It began with an old cedar fence.

After a career path that included aerospace engineering and teaching middle/high school science and math, I decided to step back and slow things down to spend more time on my passions for woodwork and handcrafted items.

What’s this have do to with an old fence? Well, when I took down an old cedar fence in my back yard, I decided to try cleaning up the wood to see what it looked like on the inside. After much planing and sanding away the weather-worn exterior and cutting away the unsavory bits, I was able to uncover the beautiful grains and colors of the redwood cedar inside. Looking at this wood, I imagined tables, shelves, coatracks, coasters, birdhouses, and a myriad of other items - all handcrafted to show off the natural beauty of the old cedar woodgrain.

With an ever-growing collection of woodworking tools and a big pile of old fence planks, I set up shop on Camano Island, Washington amongst the cedars and Douglas firs and began creating.

My wood sources and wood varieties have expanded to include reclaimed oak from hardwood flooring, fir from window frames, as well as maple, cherry and walnut. And with it, my selections of products have grown. Check out some of the cool new products.

I offer you some of my work through this online store. I hope you find some things for yourself and some gifts for family and friends.

Be sure to check back often as the assortment of wood products are ever expanding.

All the best,

Kurt G
