Tumbling Towers - Giant "Jenga" Set

We create everything from custom signs to wooden furniture. If you can think it and it can be made out of wood, we can use our SketchUp program to design it. After working in the corporate world in Chicago for over 10 years, our shop founder, Dennis, was finally given opportunity when he met his wife, Michelle, to move to TN and pursue his passion, which is wood working. Too many times in the corporate world quality is sacrificed for quantity. We guarantee you that we will not sell anything until we are satisfied that the quality is exceptional. Dennis comes from 5 generations of woodworkers. He is the first one to take it from a hobby into an actual business. All of our products and designs are made to last generations.

We started DFCrafting as a Sole-Proprietorship in June 2015 and in January 2016, we took the company to an LLC. In March 2016 Michelle quit her job in the insurance industry to go full time with the company. It was a big leap of faith as the business is now our sole source of income, but we have a sincere desire to see our company grow to be a huge success.

Michelle handles all of our customer service and finances. She also takes care of our web-development, including keeping Etsy and our business website up to date. Aside from that, Michelle also creates the designs for our signs. Using a program called Aspire she has the ability to either take a digital image and manipulate it to provide the best quality on the machine, or she can create unique pieces directly from the program.

Keeping in the tradition of a family business, our three children are also active in the business. Ashlee, our oldest daughter, is 17 and is the manager of our art department. She is in charge of quality control and helps with creating new designs for our pieces as well as finishing the pieces with paint and clear coats. We are very excited to be adding one of her exclusive hand drawn designs to our Etsy shop very soon. Our son, Dylan, is 14 and helps Dennis in the shop with cutting the wood and sanding down the pieces after they have been cut. Our youngest daughter, Emily, is in our art department. She helps with the finishing of the products. We will also be featuring some of her hand-drawn pieces in our store soon as well.

While we do keep some items in stock at all times, almost everything can be made custom order. Most of our items are made from pine, however we work with a supplier that has reasonable prices on hard woods such as oak, maple, birch, hickory and others. Most of my items are created with clean lines, symmetric proportions with the emphasis on the grains of wood we are working with. We use finishes that preserve the look of the wood grain and are pleasant to the touch. If there is something you are looking for, message us and we'll work with you to create the perfect custom piece.
