Located at the edge of the Rocky Mountains in Lyons, Colorado, Steamboat Valley Woodworks creates heirloom-quality furniture from solid hardwoods - designed with restraint, built with precision, and made to live beautifully in real homes.
This sense of place informs every piece: honest materials, balanced forms, and a focus on function that endures.
Steamboat Valley Woodworks serves clients across the Front Range, including Lyons, Estes Park, Boulder, Longmont, Loveland, Fort Collins and Denver.
If you’re looking for furniture that will become part of your home for decades, not just years, I’d be glad to build something for you.
Built to Endure.

Each piece is made by hand in Lyons, Colorado using locally sourced hardwoods whenever possible.
I work from rough lumber to final finish, allowing full control over quality, grain selection, and structural integrity.
My approach emphasizes:
Solid hardwood construction - no veneers or composites
Timeless, minimal design - proportion over ornamentation
Joinery built for longevity - engineered to last decades
Natural hardwax oil finishes - durable, non-toxic and repairable.
The result is furniture that feels substantial, performs reliably, and improves over time.

Steamboat Valley Woodworks is built on the belief that exceptional furniture should be both enduring and attainable.
By focusing on material integrity, efficient design, and a disciplined build process, I’m able to offer custom and small-batch hardwood furniture that reflects true craftsmanship, without unnecessary excess.
The long-term vision is a brand defined by quiet luxury: pieces that don’t demand attention, but earn it through quality, longevity, and presence.

I started woodworking over a decade ago with a simple goal: to furnish my own home with pieces that felt substantial, intentional, and built to last. I became obsessed with filling the gap between mass-produced furniture that prioritizes cost over longevity, and high-end work that is often out of reach.
Over the past 12 years, that pursuit evolved into a dedicated practice. I built a workshop from the ground up, took on increasingly complex pieces, and refined a design language rooted in simplicity, proportion, and durability.
Today, many of the pieces in my home are ones I’ve made myself - furniture shaped by daily use (toddler tested!), designed to age gracefully, and built with the expectation that it will be passed down.
