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’m extremely happy with the custom ship’s clock stand Phil made for me - the workmanship and fit are perfect. Phil was professional, courteous, and asked me all the right questions to get this right the first time. I’d gladly work with Phil again, and highly recommend him to others.

    This was my first project through CustomMade, and I couldn't be happier. Phil's excellent craftsmanship was only exceeded by his prompt communication and vision to understand exactly what I wanted. The value was extraordinary and I look forward to working with him again in the near future.
