Mountain Woodworker was formally created by Phil Rasmussen in 2009 after retirement from both the military and the NC Community College System.
Phil's first exposure to woodworking was at his grandfather's knees when he was around seven years old. His Grandfather was a noted craftsman in the Boston area and did much of the repair work to furniture and other items at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
As he grew, Phil kept an interest in woodworking helping his father with home projects. In 1959,he turned his first cup and bowl while attending school in Turkey.
Continuing with his education while in the service, Phil developed his artistic skills through art and photography courses. While attending Rochester Institute of Technology, he sold his first piece of woodwork (a dinning room table) at a student art exhibit.
Since graduating from college he has taught courses at the community college and university level for students and faculty alike until he retired in 2009, at which time he formed Mountain Woodworker. While creating masterful pieces of woodworking, he continues to lecture and demonstrate various aspects of woodworking.

For Ship's Clock Stand5.0Phil was great to work with long distance because of his communication. He asked for my preferences in the tint color and design. Would definitely go to Phil for future projects.

For Keepsake Boxes5.0There are not enough good things I can say about Phil. I felt restricted in giving him only 5 stars in all the category boxes above. If you are looking for a woodworker who can create a unique custom project, you can feel confident to stop now, and contact Phil. Through several communications, Phil understood our project beyond just the physical box. He understood the meaning of what it meant to us to be created, and shared our emotion in making it perfect.

For Cedar Keepsake Box5.0Top notch work! I needed a keep sake box for a doll from the 1890s that was my Great Grandmother's. Phil did an awesome researching what wood would work, finish, etc., explaining why it was necessary to use very low acid type of wood and finish. Exceedingly knowledgeable about his craft, a true artisan and professional. Highly recommended!!
