About Us

I'm Josh Christopher, a hobbyist woodturner and woodworker based in McKinney, TX. I specialize in creating housewares and functional art primarily from local firewood that might otherwise go unused. Woodworking has been a lifelong passion, but I discovered my love of woodturning later on.

What I love most about this craft is the opportunity to transform meaningful trees into heirloom pieces. Whether it's wood from someone's property, home, or a local park, each piece tells a story. Turning a tree, perhaps lost to a storm or other circumstance, into a functional art piece feels like preserving memories in a time capsule. It's incredibly rewarding to create something that serves as a lasting reminder for generations to come.

I'm fortunate to have the support of my wonderful wife and two amazing daughters, who often push me to do things like sell at more artisan markets or create this website. They play a huge role in making this hobby possible and, as a bonus, they’re also my top salespeople and co-owners.
