Welcome to Crafted Timber Woodworking! We are glad you are here. Crafted Timber Woodworking (CTW) is a family operated company that consists of myself, Kyle, and my wife, Brittney. It was never a consideration to open our own shop. I have always wanted to make my own pen and in early 2020, when the world was falling apart, I decided to order a lathe to make my first pen. Before I knew what was going on...I had purchased all the additional equipment for a wood shop.
For the first few years I dabbled with little projects and made birthday or Christmas presents. In April of 2024, I almost sold it all under rising financial pressures. My wife, the smart one between the two of us, instead told me to start using it to make money. She suggested we start a booth at the local farmers market. I sat on the idea for a few weeks but decided to make an Armor of God plaque to remind myself what I needed to do. A gentleman named Neil, who comes into where my day job is, saw the plaque and asked if he could order 10 of them from me. This was the first purchase and it made me consider that maybe we could make some money from the wood shop.
I had no belief that we would be accepted to the market but I applied. Low and behold, we were accepted! This was exciting but also very unexpected as I had almost no inventory of anything to sell. Additionally, as I read the farmer's market manual, I realized that I had to have a business name. I had to file for state taxes, and have insurance. I quickly felt like God was laying the groundwork to start an actual small business. From a state of frustration to all of the sudden a place of hope! God has been guiding us to this place it seems and I am excited to see where we go.
