History
Established in 2020.
As the son of a general contractor, I grew up around job sites working for my old man. I fell in love with the detailed work of building fine furniture and designing and building kitchens and went out on my own in 2020. I’ve had some great mentors and enjoy the process of creating something from scratch that shows off the beauty of the wood itself. From a simple shelf to your dream kitchen, I do my best to try and wow my clients and make their home feel uniquely theirs.
Meet the Business Owner: Jesse T.
My name is Jesse Taylor and I am a woodworker based in Ashland Oregon. I was born and raised in the Rogue Valley and am grateful to be from such a beautiful area.
It took me some time to realize that woodworking is my true calling. I'm naturally reserved, extremely detail-oriented, and I inherited a strong work ethic from my father. Woodworking runs in my family, and I've found that it's deeply connected to my identity. I believe that practicality and aesthetics go hand in hand when you take the time to craft intentionally.
I love spending my free time in the outdoors with my dog Bodhi, fishing, camping and exploring.
