Wood has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I still recall tagging along with my father to the lumberyard, surrounded by the rich, earthy aroma of freshly cut wood. Through the years, I have worked with wood in just about every way imaginable from carpentry to cabinetry, furniture to fine art.

Now, my passion has found its home in crafting heirloom-quality cutting boards, charcuterie boards, and other one-of-a-kind pieces from premium domestic and exotic hardwoods selected for natural character, durability, and beauty.

Each creation from J Nelson Woodwork is a blend of timeless craftsmanship and artistic expression. Meticulously shaped by hand and designed to be both functional and enduring. Every piece begins with thoughtfully chosen hardwoods, celebrated for their natural beauty and distinctive grain.

Located in the Pacific Northwest, J Nelson Woodwork is built on a simple belief: that well-made things should stand the test of time and carry a story within them. Whether it becomes a personal keepsake or the centerpiece of a home, each piece is crafted with care, intention, and integrity.
