This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Cooper Woodworks has been making custom, unique, and made to order furniture, millwork, and wood items since 2008.
It all started as a kid with a pocketknife whittling flowers and other small things from sticks found in my home state of Wyoming. During high school and college I worked for my father at his welding shop, doing mostly machining. After moving to Oregon in 2003, I switched from metalwork to a job in general contracting. As time went by, I found myself drawn more and more to fine carpentry, and started making chess boards and other items for friends and family. My first piece of mortise and tenon furniture was a figured maple crib for my son. It took a very long time and was a huge learning experience, but so worth it in the end.
Today I have made that hobby into a business that rewards me on a daily basis. Looking at a piece of nature, appreciating it's beauty, and making useful things of the utmost quality with it is a truly rewarding experience. I combine both modern and traditional woodworking and joinery techniques to provide quality pieces in a timely and cost effective manner.
Whether you are looking for a one of a kind table, a fireplace surround, or a few hundred baluster spindles for a custom staircase, I can accommodate your needs!
