About me
I’m Eliot, a woodworker in Concord, Massachusetts.
I build cutting boards, charcuterie boards and clocks one at a time, often from wood with a story:
- applewood from a decades-old tree in my front yard
- salvaged cherry that would otherwise have been firewood
- walnut, maple and cherry picked for their grain
- live edges left just the way the tree grew them
- resin poured in the colors you choose
What I care about
Pieces that look beautiful on your counter and hold up to years of real use: food-safe finishes, solid joinery, and fair prices for handmade work.
Every piece is made by hand in my shop and shipped from Concord.
Find something you love, or ask me to make one just for you.

Eliot does not only possess exceptional skills for a young man of his age, but also a genuine passion for his craft. He took time to understand my vision and worked closely with me throughout the process. His communication and checking in with me made it obvious that he cared about creating something special.
The final product is absolutely stunning – the rich tones of the mahogany are beautifully highlighted and Eliot’s craftsmanship is evident in the details.
I highly recommend this young woodworker to anyone looking for custom-made pieces and am looking forward to working with him again in the future.
I’ve been woodworking since I was ten, and the shop has grown along with me. I love trying new joinery, handle shapes and resin designs. Every piece teaches me something I carry into the next one.

My story
It started at sleepaway camp when I was ten. I came home wanting to keep building, so my dad and I set up a small wood shop in our garage. By eleven I was selling my first pieces, and I haven’t stopped since. My resin and applewood clocks began as a Mother’s Day gift for my mom, cut from the old apple tree in our front yard.
Age 10
When I started woodworking
Countless hours in the shop have taught me how to build things that are both beautiful and built to last.
