Hi, I’m Tom Drake a master woodworker from Crivitz, Wisconsin. Driven by a lifelong dedication to woodworking and high-quality craftsmanship, I craft each custom order by hand in my workshop. From bespoke dining tables to intricate shelving, my work captures the raw beauty of nature with a personal touch. Clients have loved my unique ability to showcase the inherent live-edge character of wood, making each creation a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

Guided by my ‘forest to furniture’ philosophy, each piece is processed by the following methods:

1. Wood Sourcing - A Variety of Choices: Curating the finest wood, I have a particular fondness for the timeless beauty of oak and maple. However, all varieties of wood are considered, ensuring a diverse range of options for each unique piece.

2. Lumber Milling: The lumber undergoes skillful milling, unlocking the raw potential within each piece.

3. Kiln Drying: Careful drying in a homemade kiln follows, ensuring stability and longevity in the final creation.

4. Specification-Based Design: Working closely with clients, visions are transformed into reality. Designs blend client specifications with some artistic inclination, producing unique, personalized masterpieces.

5. Artistic Touch with Epoxy Resin: To add character and flair, colored epoxy resin can be introduced, enhancing the wood's natural beauty and giving each piece a distinctive charm.

6. Sanding and Polishing: Every inch of the furniture is meticulously sanded and polished, ensuring a smooth and refined final product.
