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 Keepsake Boxes4.7This was the first time I’d ever worked with CustomMade. It was a very easy process. Phil did a great job of explaining the process and providing guidance on next steps. The project was completed about 4 weeks prior to the original estimate which was great since I was then able to give it as a Christmas gift. Phil provided a very detailed project proposal and was willing to make tweaks and revisions to honor my requests. My requests were pretty general but Phil built the project to specs. If I pursued an additional project in the future I’d be more specific and detailed. The wood he recommended was exactly the color I wanted. The shipping process was good as well, the keepsake box arrived in one piece and in great condition. The additional inset tray fit great. Overall, I’m very pleased with this project. I would recommend working with Phil to others.

For Keepsake Boxes5.0This piece is perfect in every way. Phil went over and beyond all expectations. This box is a burial box for our pet dog "Tofu". Phil handled this project very sensitively as he understood what it means to lose a pet. This is some of the best craftsmanship I have every seen. Communication was great and shipping was fast. No complaints. He even recommended the engraved name and paw print. So happy! Thank you Phil.
