Welcome to SJM Wood Work

Creating unique and handmade items with the beauty, strength and durability of hardwood.

Our Story


At SJM Wood Work, we pride ourselves on creating sustainable, natural, handmade wood products that reflect our dedication to quality and craftsmanship. 

From elegant cutting boards to bespoke furniture, each item is crafted by hand, ensuring it is both beautiful and functional.


We start with personally selected pieces of hardwood, including:
walnut, cherry, maple, purpleheart, and padauk
…to name a few.

 

Our cutting and serving boards have been conditioned using food-safe mineral oil and beeswax from a local, independent bee farm in Lake County.
