Our Story
Tim’s woodworking journey started with a box store power tool combo pack. He looked into what he could build with it and found a set of plans online. His first project was a queen bed, followed by a desk and a dining table.
Theresa grew up watching her dad build projects at home and do basic woodwork for college art classes. When the house needed new furniture and a deck, she was happy to jump in and help. After helping knock out a few projects, she quickly saw a fun opportunity to make wooden wall art from our project scraps.
We started building more projects for ourselves and soon for friends and family. Then, friends of friends, we were not necessarily looking to grow a business, but we took on the various projects that steadily filtered in. The small income allowed us to upgrade our tools, improving the efficiency and quality of our work. Since then, we have moved and built most of our furniture, upgraded our tools and shop space, and transitioned from DIY plans to designing and building our pieces.
Looking back at where we started, we’ve come a long way. We’ve traveled to other cities to meet and learn from other small successful woodworking companies, where we picked up new woodworking and business skills. Over the last year, we have spent some time developing our designs and style. We traveled to Arizona and California to William Douglas Co and Jory Brigham Workshop to attend each of their chair-building classes. These classes helped us grow with new techniques and challenged us to rethink our design and build process. Throughout 2022 Tim devoted themself to exploring Mid-Century Modern design and template-building techniques. I have found a design and woodworking style that I enjoy and represents the kind of maker I want to be.
