Owen Caldwell.

I trained in joinery and timber framing in Vermont before opening my own shop in 2017. The work I take on now is mostly residential: dining tables, benches, chairs, the occasional cabinet, almost always commissioned for a specific room and a specific use.

I source lumber from small mills in the Northeast: white oak from the Catskills, walnut and cherry from family-owned operations in central Pennsylvania. I finish everything with hand-rubbed oils and waxes. Never sprayed.

Each piece is signed, dated, and built to outlive the person who ordered it. If you're thinking about a commission, get in touch.
