Welcome to Ohio Valley Woodworking

  My bucket list has always included building
unique, one of a kind fine furniture for the public to enjoy. In the last few years I have been led to the path to make this dream come true. Many of my items are of my own design both in wood selection and design.  I enjoy mixing  hardwoods species in a design that become integrated for both its use and eye appeal.

  Many of my items are produced using Ohio hardwoods that have been air dried for at least 8 years.   Air dried wood allows for a more vibrant color but also allows for the environmental changes in the wood. Some designs are run of the mill "normal" and some are exotic in design as well as species of wood selected.  Nature's blemishes and errors in the wood are kept in tack unless it would be a structural issue.

Although local species of woods are used in my designs, most exotics are available for your custom piece.

Amish style Red Oak Bread Box with
mid-shelf and hand carvings
(natural finish with two part urethane finish)

Table Top in Walnut & Mahogany stripes.
Solid design, not veneered.

I offer several finishes from natural Tung oil to two part urethanes for ultimate durability. Lacquers, varnishes and shellac finishes are utilized as well.

All wood that is in contact (or could be) with food is finished with a grade A, FDA approved finish.  I recommend this to be reapplied in those areas at
least once a year.
