Fireplace Mantle Surround And Hearth
Custom built fireplace mantle, surround, and hearth. This client had a few pieces of trim from his fathers home that had burned to the ground a few years ago. I was able to design this mantle incorporating these memento's into it.
Meet the Maker
Randy Walker
The Woodchuck Shop
I have been a crafter all of m life. As a child I learned leather craft and built models of all sorts. As I got older I built useful things for the house and gifts for friends. As my skills grew I started building cabinets and furniture for the house. I built beds and book shelves for the kids. To support my hobby I started building and selling jewelry boxes and other small items. Then came larger commissions like the one I’m sitting on, in the photo above.
Soon a local company that builds restaurants nation wide recruited me to do some of the woodworking portions of their jobs. I now have items that I have built in restaurants all over America.
I am the former vice president and the chairman of the board of directors of Duck River Wood turners, and I am an active member in other local and regional woodworking groups.
Other things that I do that are of interest are laser engraving, sand carving, and graphic design. Along with a well equipped woodworking shop I have a large 80 watt laser, a small CNC machine, and I have recently added a 3D printer to my stable of tools and equipment.

Apr 13, 2021Randy was absolutely amazing! He helped me get a custom front desk done on a time crunch and the desk came out beautiful! He communicated with me the whole way through and even supplied pictures of the progress and was super knowledgeable throughout the process. I would recommend him to anyone and was such a pleasure to have such a beautiful piece for my new pilates studio!
