Finley River Woodworks is the result of a lifelong passion for creating unique items and furniture out of wood. What started as a simple hobby has evolved over the years into a wonderful way for me to share my passion and creativity with others. From hand turned burl bowls turned from exotic burls from New Zeland to custom designed bedroom sets made from Douglas fir logs from the Midwest, each item we create promises to be a unique, beautiful, and functional addition to your home. 

Woodworking is not dissimilar to many other art forms in that the woodworker often creates the item from his or her head and not from a set of plans developed by someone else. Wood has character and each piece has its own internal beauty. The craftsmans job is to help accentuate that beauty into the piece, and that's what I strive to do. That's why many of the items you'll see in our gallery are one of a kind. You won't find one just like it anywhere else! 

Most of the pieces we create at Finley River Woodworks are items I just decided I wanted to build, and as the shop began to fill up I had to either sell them or store them, so I'm sharing them with you!  Through the years I've found many friends and acquaintances who see my work and have asked if I could build them a custom article of furniture, hence how the hobby turned into a business.  I truly enjoy taking your idea and turning it into a reality which will grace your home for generations.  Whether its a rocking chair, a bay window bench, a log bedroom suit, custom table; whatever your need, I'm anxious to build it for you.
