Behind the Bench

Welcome to Point No Point Woodworking. Located in Hansville, Washington, the shop sits in the shadow of the historic 1879 Point No Point Lighthouse. Inspired by this deep maritime heritage and the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest, we create custom pieces built to last generations.

My path to making is rooted in a lifetime of hands-on problem-solving and service. After dedicating over twenty years to teaching in Title One schools and serving as a seasonal maintenance worker for the National Park Service, I transitioned my focus to professional contracting and specialized fabrication. My background spans automotive repair, landscaping, and precision trades—giving me a practical, deeply analytical approach to how things are built, repaired, and designed to endure.

Today, the shop bridges the gap between classic craftsmanship and modern technology. By combining traditional, honest hand-tool carpentry with the clean precision of custom CNC routing and high-resolution laser cutting, I can bring virtually any design to life with absolute accuracy.
