In our family, woodworking isn’t just a trade — it’s a tradition, passed from hand to hand, heart to heart, for over six generations.

It began over a century ago, where my great-great-great-grandfather shaped timber with tools he forged himself. There, beneath the scent of fresh-cut maple and pine with the hum of hand tools, a legacy was born. He crafted furniture not just to serve a purpose, but to last — to be cherished, remembered, and handed down.

Each generation since has carried that legacy forward, not by replicating the past, but by building on it. Techniques were honed. Tools evolved. Styles shifted. But the core remained: an unwavering respect for the wood, and for the time it takes to do things right.

We learned to read grain like others read stories. To wait for the perfect moment to carve. To let the material lead — not force it into something it’s not. We believe that good woodwork whispers with the wisdom of patience and the touch of time.

Today, as the sixth generation, 824 Craftworks carries both the memory and the mission. Our hands bear the lessons of those who came before — their quiet discipline, their belief in quality over quantity, their love of craft. Every piece we make is born from that heritage: shaped with purpose, finished with care, and built to outlast us.

This is more than furniture. It’s living history — yours to make part of your own.
