Services

Handyman work

Repairs, installs, and small carpentry projects around the house.

Custom woodwork

Furniture, cutting boards, planters, and gifts, designed with you and built one at a time in my humidity-controlled shop. A CNC cuts precise inlays: names, monograms, team logos, and shapes.

  • Tables, benches, racks, and storage
  • Inlay and engraved cutting boards
  • Outdoor planters and screens

Fencing & decking

Wood fences, gates, and decks built to last in Alabama weather.

  1. Tell me your idea

    Send a description, rough sizes, and any photos that show what you like.

  2. Approve the design

    I draw up your piece so we agree on its look, size, and wood before any work starts.

  3. I build it

    Pick it up in the Gardendale area, or we arrange delivery.

Design first, then build

Before I cut any wood, I draw your piece in 3D with real measurements. You see the size, proportions, and details, ask for changes, and approve the design. Then I build it.
