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.

    I absolutely loved the toy he made for me and he made every single part to the exact specifications that I requested. His communication throughout the project was far better than I would've expected from anyone on this site. His expertise is amazing, he definitely knew what he was doing.

    For custom keepsake box as a wedding gift
    5.0

    Phil did an excellent job with my order for a personalized wedding gift. He was prompt and professional throughout the entire process, and he gave me options to help with cost when it came down to making a decision. I decided to go with a keepsake box and when it arrived I was surprised at just how much it smelled of beautiful cedar. Phil also let me provide my own art which he engraved onto the top of the box, and that came out perfectly as well. The shipping time to arrive at my location was VERY quick! He packed it so well, I thought I was getting a shipment of moon rocks.

    In my opinion, you can't go wrong working with Phil Rasmussen. You will end up with a one-of-a-kind piece of art that you, or your loved one, will always treasure!
