The Maker

One Maker. One Piece at a Time.

Twisted Timber started in a two-car garage in 2009 with a single commission — a walnut dining table for a neighbor who wanted something that would still be in the family in fifty years.

That table is still there. That's the point.

I learned woodworking the old way — from books, from mistakes, and from spending time with older craftsmen who still remembered when furniture was built to be repaired, not replaced. The joinery techniques I use today are the same ones used in furniture that's survived centuries.

Every piece I build is made by my hands, start to finish. I select the lumber, mill it, cut the joints, fit the parts, apply the finish, and deliver it to your door. There's no team, no shortcuts, no compromises on material quality.

What you get is exactly what I'd build for myself.

The Philosophy

What I Believe About Furniture

Solid Wood Only

No particle board. No MDF. No veneers. Every piece is built from solid American hardwood — the same material through and through.

Traditional Joinery

Mortise and tenon, hand-cut dovetails, drawbored pegs. Joints that lock together mechanically, not just with glue.

Hand-Selected Lumber

We visit the mill and choose every board ourselves. Grain direction, figure, color match — these decisions happen before a single cut.

Honest Finishing

Penetrating oils and hard wax finishes that protect the wood while letting it breathe and age naturally. No plastic-looking film finishes.

Built to Be Repaired

Every piece is designed so it can be disassembled, refinished, and repaired decades from now. Furniture should outlast trends.

One Maker, One Piece

No assembly line. The same hands that mill the lumber are the hands that deliver the finished piece to your door.

"I don't build furniture to fill a room. I build it to outlast the house."
