About Us

Our Den

We are a small family owned and operated business. We are new to the business part of all this but that doesn't mean we lack experience in our craft. We have been tinkering around in our little den for many years and are just now putting our creations out for the rest of the world. We hope you enjoy what we have to offer and don't forget to tell your friends.

Our Views

Here in the Den, we are firm believers in "Go big or go home". We don't build things small, or thin, or cheap. Thats not to say we don't make small items. Our smalls are just bulkier, heavier and sturdier than what you would find most other places. When you buy from us you are getting something with girth and weight to it because that's one of the best parts about wood. It doesn't just have a look. It has a feel to it as well. That feel gets lost with cheap factory-produced stuff made from balsa wood or super thin plywood.

One of the other great things, and one of the things we love most about woodworking, is the unique nature of it. True handcrafted wood products are never perfect. No two things are ever identical. Some see this as a negative, but if that's how you feel, then go buy something plastic. We see it as one of the best features. You will never buy anything from us that is exactly the same as someone else's. Every item that comes out of our shop has something, even the tiniest thing different than the last. There is more beauty in the imperfect than the perfect. At least we think so.

Our Wood

We primarily use repurposed and recycled pine for our products. This does not mean pallet wood. Everything we use is new, unused wood It just had a different purpose before. Honestly, most of it was stuff that would have been thrown away, so we take it and build pretty things with it. A couple of our products are made with plywood or hardwoods. This is just due to the nature of product in relation to the wood. Our Christmas ornaments, for example, are made from various hardwoods simply because they are lathe turned and hardwood turns a lot better than pine. But, for the most part, we use repurposed pine which puts a little dent in the wasted lumber of the world.
