Meet the Maker
Phil Rasmussen
Mountain Woodworker
We design and create custom, hand-crafted furniture, decor items, pens for clients worldwide.
Mountain Woodworker was formally created by Phil Rasmussen in 2009 after retirement from both the military and the NC Community College System.
Phil's first exposure to woodworking was at his grandfather's knees when he was around seven years old. His Grandfather was a noted craftsman in the Boston area and did much of the repair work to furniture and other items at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
As he grew, Phil kept an interest in woodworking helping his father with home projects. In 1959,he turned his first cup and bowl while attending school in Turkey.
Continuing with his education while in the service, Phil developed his artistic skills through art and photography courses. While attending Rochester Institute of Technology, he sold his first piece of woodwork (a dinning room table) at a student art exhibit.
Since graduating from college he has taught courses at the community college and university level for students and faculty alike until he retired in 2009, at which time he formed Mountain Woodworker. While creating masterful pieces of woodworking, he continues to lecture and demonstrate various aspects of woodworking.

Aug 27, 2021Phil made a stand for my grandfather's Seth Thomas Mark I Boat clock. He helped me pick a stand and made a beautiful piece. He was responded to all my communications in a timely manner. I thought the price was reasonable, and he shipped quickly. Highly recommended!

Sep 19, 2014The final product was beautifully made. There are some changes I'd make that neither of us knew about at the time (need a softer wood), but it was a real pleasure working with Phil Rasmussen and he worked hard to meet a deadline, which I much appreciated.

Jul 26, 2014I will definitely work with Phil Rasmussen, the "Mountain Woodworker" again. if I need anything else made I am sure he will be the first I contact. The box I asked him to construct, with special instructions is absolutely fantastic. Flawless would be a thought I have when I look at it. It exceeded my expectations, and he followed my special instructions very carefully. My box is expertly put together, very reasonably priced, and its perfectly smooth and square. Even If there were some criticism I would offer, it would be to make the website more navigable. On several occasions I attempted to use the site on my smart phone, which did not work. There were also a couple occasions I could not read the private messages from the craftsman I was conversing with. All in all I am extremely pleased with the product, and I feel it was well worth what I paid for. I do believe some professional review of the custommade.com's website and its functionality would greatly improve my experience, but I will be back none the less.

Oct 14, 2016There are not enough good things I can say about Phil. I felt restricted in giving him only 5 stars in all the category boxes above. If you are looking for a woodworker who can create a unique custom project, you can feel confident to stop now, and contact Phil. Through several communications, Phil understood our project beyond just the physical box. He understood the meaning of what it meant to us to be created, and shared our emotion in making it perfect.
