How it began...
In 2020, while others were trying their hand at baking sourdough and bingeing Tiger King I decided to funnel my energy toward learning a new skill: woodworking. You may guess that I would have started small with something like a birdhouse, but I went big. Really big. A 12-foot long shuffleboard table was my goal and while it took me over a year to build, I did it. And I loved it.
During the process I made lots of mistakes, watched all the YouTube tutorials, acquired innumerable tools (I still need so many more!), and zoned in on the part of me that loves to build things with my hands, is a lover of small details and meticulous work, and appreciates the power of fun. My background in Prosthetics gave me the confidence to use the tools and my determination fuels me to continue to try new things.

What I do...
I build custom wooden pieces that are thoughtful of form, fun, and function. Each piece I make is unique to the wood I find, the whims of my customers, and the growing expansive techniques that I continue to acquire along the way. I always have a few pieces that are ready to ship (yes, I ship!) and I also take custom orders for home-sized shuffleboard tables (local to the Seattle area)!
Unlike the regulation 22-foot tables that are too large for most homes, my tables are designed to be 8 feet or shorter, making them perfect for a variety of spaces. Each table is crafted to your exact specifications, taking into account the size of your space, your design preferences, and your budget. So if you're ready to take your game to the next level with a custom wooden shuffleboard table, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I'm excited to collaborate with you and bring your vision to life!
