About Us

Welcome to 71 Timberworks!

I built this shop on a straightforward belief: your everyday items should be both breathtakingly beautiful and impeccably functional.

Life rarely goes according to plan—we face challenges, we shift directions, and as the old quote goes, "We make plans, God laughs." Today, I am happily following those rewritten plans and pouring my soul into custom woodworking. Bringing over 35 years of experience as an aircraft mechanic, I have repaired and maintained luxury Business Aircraft and served for 30+ years at a Major Airline. As a Structural Crew Chief, I use this well-rounded experience to engineer, design, and build every piece with an eye for beauty, exact detail, mechanical precision, functionality, and structural integrity.

Why choose 71 Timberworks?

• Zero Mass Production: You won't find cheap, factory-made items here. Every piece is designed and built by hand in my one-man shop.
• Premium Materials: We celebrate the distinct grain patterns of world-class timbers, specializing in everything from rich Walnut to striking African Padauk and Zebrawood.
• Our new division AERO- expect to see aircraft grade aluminum blended with our selection of premium hardwoods and premium laminated Birch.
• Built to Last: We create timeless, durable goods meant to be cherished for a lifetime and passed down through generations.

Whether you love the warm, storied elegance of our HERITAGE organizers or the sharp, industrial lines of our AERO fabrications—which are deeply inspired by a family legacy in aviation that dates back with my grandfather to the iconic 1940s Spartan Executives—we design with a strict formula in mind:

Beauty + Functionality + Craftsmanship = Value.
