● The Workshop

Two makers,
one workshop,

240 pieces a year.

§ I — The story

Started in a garage off Soundview Drive.

In 2025 we bought a 16-foot bench, a beat-up jointer, and a stack of reclaimed cedar from a barn coming down outside Olalla. We still have the same bench.

Cole was a furniture maker. Ana was a graphic designer who kept asking him to engrave things. We started selling at the Gig Harbor farmers' market on weekends, then opened the online shop a few months later. The shop has grown into a small business with one rule we've held onto since day one: every piece passes through both of our hands before it ships.

We don't have factories, contract makers, or warehouses. We have a workshop with two benches, four hardwoods, and a wall of small chisels. That's it — and that's exactly what we want it to stay.

§ II — How we work

From rough plank to your kitchen, in five steps.

01
Source
We buy lumber from three family mills inside a 200-mile radius. No mystery wood, ever.
02
Mill
Rough cut to oversized blanks, then air-dry in the shop for at least 30 days.
03
Build
Hand-planed, glued with food-safe Titebond, surfaced flat, edges eased.
04
Finish
Two coats of walnut oil + beeswax, hand-buffed. Engraving laser-burned last.
05
Sign + ship
Cole or Ana signs, dates, and inspects every piece before it goes into the box.
§ III — Visit

Come say hi.
Saturdays, 10–4.

The workshop is open Saturdays from April through October. Bring your dog. We'll show you a piece in progress and put a kettle on.

“We'd rather make 240 pieces a year that
last forever than 24,000 that don't.”
