OttoWood Woodworking

Handcrafted hardwood Danish modern & rocking chairs, console tables, home goods, and whatever else I think of in Wilmington, Delaware.

The name OttoWood comes from my grandfather Otto J. Ahnemann (1895-1974) who, when my mother was two years old in 1930, bought her a handmade rocking chair from a disabled local craftsman in rural southern Minnesota. Over the following years, Otto built three copies of the original so each of his four children would have one. Consequently all of my cousins grew up with one of these simple, sturdy, and elegant Mission style rockers in their homes. My hardwood supplier is committed to sustainable forest management whose products come from legal sources who practice sound forest management.

Why do you need a small cutting board? You say the master of your castle, Guy de Loimbard already has a large one and it’s very nice-a? But a mini board takes up minimal space when all he needs to do is chop cilantro for his Mexican hot dish—or mince garlic, wedge a lime, or double as a mini platter or cheese board. They’re great for tiny kitchens, dorm rooms, RVs, camping trips, or roadside picnics.

Now whether your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries is an entirely different issue.

Thank you! Thanks to all those who stopped by OttoWood at the Hagley Craft Show this weekend and helped make it a big success. I really enjoy seeing everyone: new, repeat, and former customers, friends, people from my past, window shoppers, and those happy just to talk for a minute or two. You’re all the best.
