Old Zions Woods

My Grandfathers and my Great-Grandfather were incredible craftsmen. They did woodworking their entire lives, and in my maternal Grandfather’s case, literally until the actual day he died. Some of my earliest memories as a child were sitting with my Grandfathers and “helping” them with their projects. Their patience and joy in taking a piece of shapeless wood and making something useful and beautiful out of it was quite inspirational. A once strong, proud, and lovely creation as a tree that if not for a woodworker would most likely end up as decay or ashes in a fire. Certainly, my passion to carry on the craft comes from them.

Today I continue that legacy through Old Zions Woods, sharing custom builds, heartfelt handmade gifts, and creative shop solutions. Here you’ll find long form woodworking videos, quick Shorts, and behind the scenes glimpses into my workshop.
