This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
At Olsons WoodWorks we specialize in balancing the best of old world craftsmanship with the latest in design and tool capabilities. Dave Olson began his career in woodworking in 1979 in Gig Harbor, WA where his specialty was traditional oak roll top desks. In 1988 he answered the call to the ministry where he served for 25 years. In 2013, Dave and his son, Jens, began Olsons WoodWorks. Today our focus is on the design and construction of chairs in addition to the ability to design and build a wide range of furniture to suit our client’s particular desires.
In order to accomplish this goal we have invested in computer design software and a Legacy Artisan II CNC router. These technologies enable us to work with our clients from the early conceptualization phase, develop three dimensional renditions of the designs for review, and then accurately and efficiently create and deliver to our clients a finished product. Though we utilize the latest in technology, it is traditional hands on craftsmanship that we rely on to complete the final detailing of our work.
Though Dave has completed commissions for some of the wealthiest people in the world, our commitment is to create fine furniture that will be cherished for generations and yet furniture that is reasonably priced so that it is accessible to and can be enjoyed by a wide variety of people.

For Cameron's computer desk5.0I rarely give 5 stars. There's always something that could be better, or more efficiently. That being said. This gentleman is great to work with. He was patient and worked with extreme haste. His sense of urgency communication wise was second to none. I explained what I wanted, and within the same day he had made a computer design of what I wanted. I requested him to carve an intricate design into the desk practically last minute, and he delivered. The desk was delivered the same week it was finished. It turned out better than I originally envisioned! Seriously perfect! I would highly recommend him, and go to him for future builds.

For Mantel And Built-In Bookcases5.0We are so pleased with Dave (and his son, Jens!). The cabinets turned out perfect, the price was right, and Olsons WoodWorks were a breeze to work with. Not only would I recommend them to my friends and family, I'm already working on another project to hire them for in the Spring!! A skilled expert!!
