The story of Ozarks Woodworking Studio.
I build custom tables and architectural doors in Theodosia, Missouri—heirloom pieces made to outlast the people who commission them.
I served in the Marine Corps, then spent thirty years as a country doctor in these same Ozark hills before turning full-time to a craft I've loved since I was a teenager. The standard came with me: the details no one sees are the ones that matter most.
My wife Lucy designs alongside me—left alone, I'll add one element too many, and she has the eye to rein it in. We build everything by hand in our shop on a hill just outside town, sturdy and meant to last generations.
If you're considering a custom table, door, or unique project, then we'd like to hear what you have in mind.
If you've got a piece in mind, I'd love to hear about it.
