I am one man woodworking studio and I craft stunning furniture using Live Edge Slabs combined with time honored traditions of woodworking.

My Story:

In 2010, my woodworking journey kicked off as I sought a hands-on career post-college and the birth of my twins. Woodworking was just a fleeting interest back then, but the prospect of adding a custom woodworking dimension to my in-laws’ lumber business prompted a move to my wife’s hometown and taking on a role at Seneca Hardwood Lumber Co. This sparked a passion for making things from wood.

Immersed in the lumber industry at Seneca, I experimented with crafting rustic pieces from freshly milled "live edge" slabs. Progressing from these early experiments at the Seneca Mill, I honed my skills and began making pieces for the Hardwood Mall Showroom. A brief apprenticeship with a skilled Romanian woodworker further refined my approach.

Inspired by George Nakashima, I delved into designing refined live-edge tables, gradually gaining local recognition. A milestone project—kitchen cabinets made from reclaimed lumber and a live edge staircase—underscored my capabilities. The turning point came with a Gothic-style private chapel completed in 2012, a project that exponentially elevated my skills and gave me the confidence to consider woodworking as a potential full-time livelihood.

Striving to realize this dream, I ventured into online selling, facing the challenges of remote client communication and shipping logistics. By 2014, I achieved my goal of woodworking full-time, and let go of my position at the Seneca Mill. In October of 2014, Corey Morgan Wood Works officially emerged as a standalone venture.

Establishing a shop on my property in 2017 marked a new chapter, blending my professional goals with my dreams of integrating work and family life. I also briefly expanded with apprentices. However, returning to solo operations in 2021 reflected my desire to stay intimately connected with the tools and wood, reaffirming my commitment to the craft.

    Corey is an artist and a professional. He was more than willing to answer any question, send samples, and suggest options. He is also a complete perfectionist, and the table he made is absolutely beautiful. I am thrilled to have it in my home, and to have had the chance to work with Corey.

    The table that was created for us is absolutely beautiful and will now be a family heirloom. You can tell that Corey respects the wood and his craftsmanship and quality is second to none (and my husband is a mill worker of over 35 years so he would know). SO very pleased with the entire process, Corey communicated to us every step of the way. An honest, decent and fair business man. This table is well worth the price :) Great experience

    Our live edge table is a work of art! I was a little apprehensive about not seeing it in person prior to purchase. Corey provided us with pictures and samples and videos. He gave exceptional customer service.
    Corey was easy to work with and truly wanted us to be happy with our project.
