JWS Woodshop custom woodworking

I have been working with wood for over 40 years.  

I  build for customers like you who want unique and lovely wood items as well as for my own family and friends.

"Each flitch, each board, each plank can have only one ideal use.  the woodworker, applying a thousand skills, must find that ideal use and then shape the wood to realize it's true potential."

Wood is fascinating to work with. The different species all have unique colors, hardness and grain patterns.  Wood "moves" with changes in ambient temperature and humidity. This unpredictability makes working with wood both challenging and joyful in terms of structure and aesthetics. I love the process of deciding which wood species to combine.

If you want a custom piece, I will work closely with you and  decide which wood species are best for your project and overall design.  I will send you pictures as we work through the different stages  to make sure you're satisfied with how it looks.
