About

As far back as I can remember I have had an interest in woodworking and wood carving in particular, I guess you could say it's a long tradition on my father's side of the family. My grandfather was involved in woodworking and carpentry and built their home with his own two hands. His eldest son was also quite talented with a saw. By far however, the one person who I would credit the most for my love for woodworking is actually my grandmother who ran a small picture framing shop with a plethora of woodworking tools out of her basement. One of my earliest memories of my grandmother was giving her an image that I had drawn of a log cabin and thinking she could carve it into a piece of walnut or cherry for me. Much to my surprise she gave the drawing back several days later, not carved in wood… but framed in it. After spending 20yrs in the casino industry I was laid off in 2020 due to the global pandemic. Instead of relocating my family to another city or state to continue working in a casino I decided to “roll the dice” on myself and my talents. I purchased several CNC machines and started my own woodworking shop specializing in signs, home décor and other misc. wooden items. I will be focusing mostly on custom orders but also selling some of my own creations as well as MrGoodWoodCNC merchandise. In the day and age of big box stores and large online retailers selling cheap imported goods my goal is to make quality products at affordable prices that can be handed down for generations.
