Built by Hand.
Made to Last.
We started in a garage in Michigan with a few hand tools and a love for real wood. Today we build hundreds of custom pieces every year — but the craft hasn't changed.
2018
From a Garage in Michigan
to Your Front Door.
It started the way most good things do — with a problem. We couldn't find furniture that was actually built to last. Everything was flat-pack, veneer, or overpriced. So we started building our own.
What began as a weekend hobby in a two-car garage in Michigan quickly turned into something more. Friends wanted pieces. Friends of friends wanted pieces. Before long, we were building custom furniture, cutting boards, shelves, and signs for people all over the country.
"We don't use shortcuts. Every piece is built by hand, from real hardwood, exactly the way the customer imagined it."
Today, WoodworkingGuys ships hundreds of handcrafted pieces every year — but the philosophy hasn't changed. Real wood. Real craftsmanship. Built to last a lifetime.
Our Craft.
Our Values.
Every decision we make comes back to three things — the wood, the craft, and the customer.
Made in Michigan
Every piece is built in our Michigan workshop. No outsourcing, no drop-shipping. Real hands, real tools, real craft — made right here in the USA.
Premium Hardwoods Only
We source only the finest domestic hardwoods — walnut, maple, cherry, oak, and cedar. No MDF, no veneers, no shortcuts. Ever.
Built for You
Every piece is made to order. Your size, your wood, your finish. We build exactly what you need, exactly how you want it.
Fast Turnaround
Most orders ship within 5–10 business days. Custom furniture within 2–3 weeks. Fast, without cutting corners.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
If your piece doesn't match the approved specs, we fix it or rebuild it at no charge. No hassle, no argument. That's our promise.
Ships Nationwide
We ship anywhere in the contiguous United States. Smaller items via UPS or FedEx. Large furniture via freight with white-glove delivery.
Where Every Piece
Comes to Life.
Our Michigan workshop is where the magic happens. Every piece starts here — with raw hardwood slabs, hand tools, and the kind of attention to detail that machines simply can't replicate.
We keep our workshop small on purpose. Small means personal. Small means every craftsman knows your order, your specs, and your expectations.
Hand tools & power tools
We use a combination of traditional hand tools and modern precision equipment for the best results.
Food-safe finishes only
All kitchen items are finished with food-safe mineral oil and beeswax — safe for direct food contact.
Quality check on every piece
Before anything ships, every piece is inspected, photographed, and carefully packaged by hand.
