Our Family Values Crafted Into Every Piece
I’ve always believed in the power of making things with my own hands. As a family man with a steady corporate job, I never imagined that what started as a weekend hobby—building a few outdoor chairs for our backyard — would turn into something much bigger. I’ve always had a passion for woodworking, and when friends and neighbors saw what I’d made, they started asking if I could build something for them too. That’s when the idea really hit me—why not turn this into a business? My wife and family were all in from the start, encouraging me to take the leap. With their support, we began crafting custom outdoor furniture, and before long, we had a small but steady stream of commissions coming in.
Over time, that little hobby grew into a full-fledged family business. Starting in our outdoor 12’ x 10’ shed, today, Old Forge Timber Co. isn’t just about furniture anymore—we create everything from hand-carved toys and personalized wooden signs to intricate home decor. Each piece we make is a reflection of our family’s values: quality, care, and craftsmanship. My family have all joined in, each bringing their own skills to the table. What started as a passion project has turned into something much bigger—something that has connected us all. It's not just about woodworking anymore; it’s about creating unique pieces everyone can enjoy. We thank you for supporting our small business and look forward to working with you.
