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 Redwood Frames5.0We are absolutely delighted with Phil's project. We asked him to make 6 frames of redwood, with very specific dimensions. He chose the most exquisite wood, and worked with us closely to assure the dimensions were accurate.He is truly concerned to do the perfect project for his clients.
He provided us with ideas we had not thought of and end even offered to frame the photos we had selected. His wired edge to edge hangars are elegant.
Phil has done previous projects for us and we have been absolutely delighted.
You are indeed fortunate if you have this gifted artist execute your project.
Should you have any questions, we would be happy to speak with you.
In sum, Phil's work is AWESOME!!!!! - KW

For Black Walnut And Rock Maple End Grain Chopping Block5.0Phil did a tremendous job with creating the cutting board using photos of other boards and customizing the board exactly how I wanted it. He kept me updated with the progress and provided me with photos on the project.
I would recommend using Phil for any project.
