Thank You Liverpool & The Studio Thoughts

Thank you Liverpool for your hospitality while was over there doing work for Ford.

I had been a little quieter here lately while traveling for work, but sometimes stepping away gives you a chance to think about why you started in the first place.
For me, The Studio was never simply about building things out of wood.
It's about the people.
The family that gathers around the table.
The conversation shared over a pour.
The collection someone has spent years building.
The piece that eventually gets passed down.
The wood is the medium.
People are the purpose.

As I get back into The Studio, that's something you're going to hear more about.
Good things are being built-and I'm glad you're here for what's next.

Stay Tuned….

Behind The Build

These slabs looked rough when I sorted them.
Many others would have passed on them.
I saw what they could become.
Sometimes the best pieces start out looking like nothing special.

The Studio Philosophy

Every Home Has A Story.
Every home has a room where life naturally happens.
My goal isn’t to fill that room.
It’s to make it even more inviting.

Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate 250 years of faith, freedom, and liberty.

I’m proud to be an American and grateful for the men and women who have defended the freedoms we often take for granted. Those freedoms give us the opportunity to build, create, worship, gather with family and friends, and pursue our dreams.

As we celebrate this milestone, let’s never forget the sacrifices that made it possible.

Happy America 250. God Bless America. 🇺🇸

Why I Build…

Most people see a finished piece.
I see the hours spent choosing the right board, studying the grain and making sure every detail feels right.

That’s the part most people never see.
It’s also my favorite part.

Something New Is Taking Shape
At The Studio

For a long time I've been building pieces out of wood and other materials. Now I'm building pieces that help bring people together.

This is your first sneak peek at The Gathering Collection- a new direction for the The Studio that's centered around slowing down, sharing a drink, lighting a cigar, enjoying good food and spending time with the people who matter most.

Every piece is handcrafted with the same attention to detail you've come to expect, but this collection is about more than wood.

It's about creating a reason to gather around the table.

This is only the beginning.

Over the coming weeks and months I'll be introducing more pieces from The Gathering Collection, each designed with the same purpose-bringing people together and creating moments worth remembering.

I'de love to hear what you think of this first look.

Welcome to the next chapter of The Studio.
