The Maker's Story
Built in a Garage. Built with Purpose.
RG Woodshop started the way most good things do — with a pair of hands, a love for the craft, and something to prove.
I'm a disabled veteran, and woodworking gave me back something the military took: the satisfaction of building something real with my own hands. Every piece that leaves my shop in North Carolina started as a raw plank of walnut, cherry, or red oak — and ended as something that will outlast both of us.
Everything is made to order. I don't keep inventory. When you place an order, I build it — for you, from scratch, with the same care I'd put into something for my own home. That's not a marketing line. That's just how this works.
I'm still operating out of a large garage workshop, with expansion plans underway. The tools are professional. The process is personal. And every piece ships with the pride of someone who chose this work, not someone who fell into it.
If you're a veteran, I see you — and I've got 10% off with your ID, always. Because the people who served this country deserve to bring something beautiful into their homes.
In the maker's words
"I don't build furniture. I build heirlooms — pieces your grandkids will argue over one day."
Disabled Veteran-Owned

Turned & Lathe Work
Hand-turned bowls, pedestals, and decorative vessels cut from a single solid block of walnut, cherry, or red oak. No two pieces are ever alike — the grain reveals itself as the piece takes form.
