Sustainable, functional beauty. As an environmental educator I enjoy connecting people with the wonders of our natural world. I have a tremendous amount of interest in the trees that shape our forests- from their ability to sustain our ecosystems to their uniqueness and beauty. Stonefly Woodcrafts uses sustainably harvested and reclaimed hardwoods from here in the mountains of Western North Carolina. A wide variety of native hardwoods is available, chosen for their distinctive physical characteristics, color and grain pattern. Commonly selected species include sugar maple (Acer scaccharum), wild black cherry (Prunus serotina), black walnut (Juglans nigra), ash (Fraxinus sp.), black locust (robinia pseudoacacia) and white oak (Quercus alba). Edge grain cheeseboards measure 8 inches by 5 inches, and make excellent corporate or thank you gifts. Custom heat-branded logo is also available at an additional cost, please inquire for more details. This board will serve you well for everyday use, and the exposed edge grain offers a highly attractive cutting and display surface. Woods featuring special features such as spalting, figure and flecking can be utilized if requested. Each has been treated with a beeswax, mineral oil mixture.

I am a professional environmental educator and naturalist in Western North Carolina who enjoys using locally harvested and reclaimed hardwoods in designing and building functional woodwork.

I have a strong interest in creating works that highlight the biodiversity and character of the Southern Appalachians. If that appeals you you, let me know!

The wood I use in all projects is sustainably harvested and in most cases locally sourced. I do not use any exotic hardwoods, as these are often not harvested sustainably and create a large environmental impact by shipping them to the United States. All wood glue is food-safe when cured and waterproof. Finishes are all non-toxic.

    I just received my cherry wood cutting board today. It's an incredible work of art! I'm very happy both with the quality of the work and the fair price that Jonathan quoted for the project. If you have an opportunity to work with this exceptionally skilled artist, do so! Thanks, Jonathan, for this new treasured family heirloom.

    I bought 2 absolutely beautiful cutting boards, one for each of my brothers for Christmas. They absolutely LOVED the unexpected and unique gifts. They arrived just in the nick of time on Christmas EVE. Thank you, Jonathan for the expedited shipping!

    Jonathon was a pleasure to work with. My only negative is that I didn't communicate as well as I should. The coat rack that he sent is beautiful and well made, just not exactly what I had pictured. I am happy with it though! He did install flush mount wall attachments to the rack, but did not send the wall attachments, which may have just been an oversight, and I will contact him directly about this. I was thrilled to be his first customer on Custom Made, and will definitely contact him again with future projects. The coat rack arrived on time (before Christmas) and was well packaged. Thanks, Jonathon!

    On my last review of Jonathan's work I said that, "I would absolutely use him again", and I did with the same impressive results.
    Thank you Jonathan.
