My name is Bethany, and my journey to woodworking is a story about family.

I’ve been married to my husband Josh for over 20 years. Years ago, unexpectedly, we found out I was pregnant with our son. We hadn’t planned on a family — and I definitely hadn’t planned on leaving my career. But the moment I met him, I couldn’t imagine leaving him with anyone else. I left my job and stayed home.

With more time at home and less money coming in, I started tackling projects. I landscaped during nap time, built fireplaces in between stories, and bought a saw to case our windows. That saw started everything.

I love woodworking because it brings the best of man and nature together.

Looking around our homes, we find so many ways it ties us through the generations: the dining room table inherited from your grandparents, the dresser from your mom, the china hutch holding your great-grandmother’s china, the guitar your son now strums. All there, holding our memories.

My hope is that every piece I make helps turn your house into a home.
