About

Crafted With Care, Built to Last

Meet the team behind JD woodworking—where traditional skills and modern design unite in every piece.

Philosophy

Founded on a passion for quality and creativity, JD Woodworking crafts each piece by hand, using sustainably sourced local materials and environmentally friendly practices. We believe in the art of woodworking—where every creation has a story within every detail. Our mission: to bring warmth, function, and beauty to your space with furniture and gifts built with practices and tools that have been a staple in woodshops around the world for centuries. These practices provide you with a product that you will be proud to hand down through the generations.

My Story

I created JD Woodworking to fuel my passion for working with hand tools creatively and productively. I spend my summers working at Streblow Custom Boat, which has been making wooden boats since 1950 with supreme craftsmanship and dedication. In my home shop, I only use hand tools in order to reduce my carbon footprint. I also recently started to teach my craft by hiring an apprentice, so that the knowledge that I have will be passed on to the next generation
