Custom woodworking & laser engraving · Branson, MO Made by hand. Built to last.
Custom woodwork, CO₂ laser engraving and upcycled skateboard creations — handmade in a garage workshop in Branson, Missouri, for people who appreciate the real thing.
Project 13 / build log / chapter 01 of 04 is up
I'm turning 13 retired skateboard decks into something new.
Every board in the stack got ridden hard. New chapter every week until the reveal.
01 · The craft
Three trades. One bench.
Traditional joinery meets modern laser work — and old decks get a second life.
Made to last decades, not seasons.
Furniture restoration, custom builds and traditional joinery. Rustic or refined, every piece is built around how it will actually be used.
Shop furniturePrecision you can feel.
Custom signs, gifts, décor and personalization on wood, acrylic, leatherette and more — engraved on an OMTech Pro CO₂ laser right here in the shop.
Shop laser giftsEvery deck has history.
Worn-out decks get a new life as shelves, wall art and furniture accents — each one a true one-of-a-kind.

Quit watching. Start doing.
I'm Chris. My grandfather was a builder who taught me by example — he built my first quarter pipe. I've been skating since I was eight, and after years of watching woodworking videos, my wife told me to quit watching and start doing. So I did.
Today the shop runs out of my garage in Branson on Grizzly tools and an OMTech Pro laser. Everything is built by hand, made to order and meant to last — often from reclaimed lumber and old decks.
