My name is Bethany and I love woodworking.  My journey here has been meandering but is a story about family.

I have been married to my husband Josh for over 20 years.

Years ago, serendipity struck and we found out I was pregnant with my son.  The news was unexpected as we hadn’t planned on a family, and I definitely hadn’t planned leaving my career.

But the birth of my son changed everything.

As soon as I met him, I couldn’t imagine leaving him with anyone else.  I left my job and stayed at home with him.

With more time at home (and less money coming in) I began tackling home projects.  I landscaped during nap time, built fireplaces in between stories, and had to buy a saw to case our windows.

The purchase of that saw started my woodworking journey.

I love woodworking because it is timeless and natural.  It brings the best of man and nature together.

Looking in our homes, we find so many ways that it ties us through the generations; the dining room table you inherited from your grandparents, the dresser you got from your mom, the china hutch that holds your great-grandmothers china, the guitar you used to play in high school that your son now strums – all there holding our memories.

My hope in woodworking is that every piece I make helps turn your house into a home, and object into a memory.
