Good Morning. My name is Matthew White and I've been a woodworker since 1998. I'm mostly self-taught and I've been adding to my skills ever since.
By day I'm in the Air Force and I found woodworking to be an excellent creative release. It's also given me the opportunity to give back to those who have served.
I've burned murals for conference centers, built shadow boxes for retired Chiefs, and had my work grace offices in Washington D.C. I've had my work presented to Colonels and Airmen completing basic training.
It has been an awesome experience to share and I'm always open to a new project or challenge.

For Military Shadow TableLate last year I commissioned Matt to build my Military Retirement Shadow “Box” Table. I have been busy since then with a move and looking for a new job, so it has taken a little while to write a review. But, I wanted to make sure to write a review to complement Matt on building a great table. He custom made the table to meet my request and was very cooperative throughout the process. I laid out what I wanted and he made recommendations…the outcome was a wonderful table that I was happy to use capture my military career. Thanks Matt!
