The Day Willow Lawn Went Live

Jun 30, 2025 | The Journey

This morning, Willow Lawn Woodcrafts officially launched.

It’s not perfect—some formatting still bugs me, and there are products I want to tweak—but I’ve realized that if I wait for perfect, I’ll never hit publish. So here it is: raw, honest, handcrafted. Like the work I do in the shop.

What started as late nights covered in walnut shavings and quiet “what ifs” has become a real space to share the things I build with care. Every piece reflects the grit, humor, and heart I try to bring to this craft.

Thanks for being here at the beginning. I’ll keep building. And sharing. One board—and one blog post—at a time.
