Our stylish, yet functional picture frames are designed to be flush-mounted into your wall, yet are discreet enough to simply place on a tabletop.

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 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 Wooden block ink stamps with carved picture Project4.8The final product was beautifully made. There are some changes I'd make that neither of us knew about at the time (need a softer wood), but it was a real pleasure working with Phil Rasmussen and he worked hard to meet a deadline, which I much appreciated.
