About

Tech -n- Wood is a one-person woodworking shop nestled in the Driftless Area of southern Wisconsin. I specialize in creating custom furniture and bespoke artisanal pieces.

The name Tech -n- Wood reflects my two main passions. After a 30-year career in the IT industry, I transitioned to woodworking, blending my tech skills like 3D modeling, AI, and CNC with traditional woodworking techniques. The joy and satisfaction of transforming wood into tangible products is a refreshing contrast to the virtual world of tech. Woodworking offers a new avenue for creativity and expression in the physical world.

I primarily use locally sourced and sustainably harvested domestic lumber. Any exotic woods I incorporate are sourced from suppliers that adhere to CITES Appendix I, II, and III for sustainable harvesting practices.

In my shop, I enjoy listening to jazz fusion and modern jazz music. If you’re interested, here’s my shop playlist, which features a few favorite artists and is gradually expanding.
