ABOUT SAW & CEDAR
Built by Hand. Guided by Grain.
I’m the maker behind Saw & Cedar, a small woodworking shop based in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.
What started as a passion for working with real wood turned into a commitment to doing things the right way — slow, intentional, and by hand. Every piece that leaves my shop is free-hand carved from solid wood, shaped by experience rather than automation. I use electric tools where they make sense, but no CNC machines or mass-production shortcuts. The human touch — the subtle variations, the tool marks, the character — is what makes each piece one of a kind.
I believe wood should look and feel like wood. Grain should lead the design, not fight it. Knots, curves, and imperfections aren’t flaws — they’re part of the story.
One-of-a-Kind Pieces, Made to Be Used
At Saw & Cedar, I build custom furniture, signs, décor, and functional pieces meant to be lived with, not just looked at. Whether it’s a statement table, a carved sign, shelving, or a meaningful custom request, every project is made one at a time, tailored to the space and the person it’s for.
No templates. No duplicates.
If I’ve made something similar before, that just means I’ll make yours better.
Rooted in the Pocono Mountains
Living and working in the Poconos shapes everything I build — from the materials I choose to the way I approach craftsmanship. This area values durability, honesty, and things that last. That mindset carries into every cut, carve, and finish.
Saw & Cedar isn’t about trends. It’s about creating pieces that still feel right years from now.
Why Saw & Cedar?
Because real craftsmanship shows.
Because mass-produced furniture doesn’t tell your story.
Because handmade should actually mean made by hand.
If you’re looking for something custom, meaningful, and built with intention, I’d be honored to create it.
