Spring planting season is here!

These 100% cedar Elevated Garden Beds are built right here in Lexington by Larson Wood Designs and are perfect for growing vegetables, herbs, or flowers without bending over or kneeling.

Made from solid cedar, they are naturally resistant to rot, insects, mold, and mildew and will hold up well outdoors season after season.

Each planter is lined with landscape fabric to allow proper drainage, airflow, and long-term durability.

These beds hold approximately 4 cubic feet of soil and provide about 10 inches of planting depth, giving your plants plenty of room to grow.

Elevated Garden Bed Sizes

24” tall × 37.5” long × 23.5” wide — $135

36” tall × 37.5” long × 23.5” wide — $150

The 24” tall planter works great for children or raised patio gardening.

The 36” tall planter is ideal for anyone who doesn’t want to bend over or kneel while gardening. Your back will thank you.

Trellis Option Available

A cedar trellis can be added for climbing plants like tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, peas, or flowers.

The trellis stands 4 feet above the planter and is made with sturdy cedar slats spaced 4 inches apart.

It attaches with screws and comes pre-drilled, so it can easily be removed for transport or winter storage.

Planter + Trellis Pricing:

24” planter with trellis — $215

36” planter with trellis — $230

Also Available

We also build 3-Tier and 4-Tier Cedar Ladder Planters, which look beautiful on porches, patios, and decks growing herbs or flowers.

Message anytime for pricing and availability on ladder planters or our 16” × 16” cedar box planters.

Pickup / Delivery

Pickup is in the Hamburg area of Lexington.

Local delivery may be available depending on distance.

Payment

Cash preferred.
Venmo, CashApp, Apple Pay, and Credit Cards also accepted.

A lot of people have never seen a bread bow knife before, but once you use one, it makes sense immediately.

The serrated blade lets you slice cleanly through crusty bread without crushing it, and the wooden handle feels great in hand.

I have several handmade bread bow knives available now in a variety of domestic and exotic hardwoods.

I ship anywhere in the U.S. and get orders out quickly, even this close to Christmas. Local pickup in Lexington, KY. Message me for details.

I recently finished Bluegrass Chaos, and it is one of the most detailed pieces I have made all year. It is a chaos pattern built from black walnut, cherry, hard maple, padauk, sapele, purpleheart, wenge, and framed with a maple border and a thick leopardwood border. Because it is an end grain board, the leopardwood face grain shows all the way around the edges, and it looks unreal in person.

This board is meant for real use in the kitchen. End grain is the surface many chefs prefer because it is gentle on expensive knives. The blade moves between the wood fibers instead of cutting across them, which keeps your knives sharper for much longer. The fibers then close back up after each cut, which is why end grain boards stay smooth and hide scoring better than any other style. People sometimes say boards like this are too nice to use, but I build them so you can use them. They are designed to handle daily chopping, slicing, and serving while still looking good for years. And if you still do not want to cut on it, it makes a beautiful serving or charcuterie board. Just do not hide it in a cabinet. Let it be part of your home.

This board is not made to be the cheapest option. It is made to be the best option. I build it to last, to perform, and to look beautiful every day you use it. It is built to be an heirloom piece that can be handed down from one generation to the next.

The board sits on solid one inch brass feet with non slip, non marring silicone inserts, giving it a lifted and steady feel on any countertop. It will not slide on any counter.

If you are looking for a unique handmade gift this Christmas, I have several cutting and charcuterie boards available along with my popular bread bow knives made from exotic and domestic hardwoods. I also have my Bluegrass Pot Hangers, which have become a customer favorite and are something most people have never seen before. Each board includes a tin of Larson Wood Designs Board Butter to help keep it looking its best.

I ship anywhere in the United States of America and most clients receive their orders within 3 to 5 business days from the time the order is placed. Each piece is packaged with the same level of care that goes into crafting it, ensuring it arrives safely, securely, and exactly as intended. Every shipment is handled through trusted carriers and premium packaging, providing a refined delivery experience from my hands to yours. For premium pieces, Signature Verification is included to safeguard your investment and ensure a secure professional delivery.

Message me if you would like more information or would like one held.

Thank you for supporting a Kentucky craftsman and a small family run business. You are helping keep handmade craftsmanship alive in the United States of America. Thank you.

Hello everyone! I've added some new handmade pieces to my website for the holidays, and they're some of my favorite builds this year. There are stunning Cutting & Serving Boards, handcrafted Bread Bow Knives, and the new Bluegrass Pot Holders! The Pot Holders make great gifts, if you haven't seen them yet. Please check out my website. I built it myself, and I'm excited to share what I've been working.
I've got a few more pieces I'll be adding to the site this week as I finish them up. I ship anywhere in the United States, and there is still time to get gifts delivered before Christmas!

Thank you, Lexington! Woodland Art Fair 2025 is in the books. This was my first year taking part, and I’m so thankful for the experience. It was amazing to see and feel how supportive Lexington is of locally owned businesses and handmade work.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by my booth, to my fellow artists, and to the staff and volunteers at Lexington Art League and Lexington, KY Parks & Recreation for putting on such a great event. I’m especially thankful to the Lexington Art League for inviting me and for treating artists so well. And a big thank you to Lexington Parks and Recreation for all the work behind the scenes that makes this fair possible.

I’m grateful for every customer who supported me and for all the pieces that went home with you this weekend. And I want to thank my family for spending the weekend with me in the heat and helping throughout the fair.

Thank you Lexington!! 💙
