We build from the past to Ensure a Future…

Living in the North Carolina mountains has its own inspirations and woodworking has become one for us. We love creating unique one of a kind pieces from simple end tables to multi piece spaces. We have been commissioned by global hotel/restaurants as well our work is carried nationally in various retailers. We are fortunate to work with designers from NYC to Malibu, CA. With the mindset to keep all products made in the USA, after having enough broken pieces from over seas that have toxic properties that are destroying our planet. On all furniture pieces that Blowing Rock WoodWorks builds we use reclaimed or sustainable woods.

With a combination of reclaimed woods, fine woods all hand selected to ensure a beautiful heirloom piece. Keeping everything made in the USA is our mission and repurposing materials that will last forever only makes sense for sustainability.

From smaller projects like a desk to larger projects like a 15 person live edge dining table you'll appreciate the thought that goes into each project, allowing for an heirloom your family will enjoy for years to come!

Thank you for stopping by our store and we look forward to working with you on your next project!

    This table looks terrific in the room we intended for it. The workmanship is good and it was easy to assemble. Love that it is made with reclaimed materials. Only downside is that it came by HUGE semi that couldn't make a turn I. Our cul de sac. So we had to meet the shipper a mile away and make a transfer. A UPS sized truck or small van would have made more sense.

    Working w Custommade and John Northrop was professional and easy. They answered all questions, were available by phone and shipped the product timely. We would highly recommend them as a quality manufacturer and would purchase from them again. Please also keep in mind we put a lot of trust in both the company and John Northrup, as we had not dealt with them before.

    Had an excellent experience working with this craftsman who we commissioned to build 3 waterfall tables. There was constant communication and updates on the project, it arrived within time frame specified, pricing was extremely competitive and the end product was very well done. I am actually getting ready to reach out to them for another project so obviously I am very pleased with their work!

    We ordered a desk with a Maple top and hairpin legs. It turned out beautifully, fits perfectly in our space, and blends in nicely with our decor. John was easy to communicate with and the desk arrived early. I wish we had known about this years ago and saved all those wasted hours looking for the right size desk. I would highly recommend John Northrup!

    John was a delight to work with, very professional and detail oriented. He walked me through all my questions as to fabrication so that I could fully understand the construction and materials. He has really thought through the process so that we'll have a beautiful and unique table that will last a lifetime. The results are outstanding. I am very happy with the quality and beauty of the table John created for us. It is a very sturdy and well-constructed table. It will be a conversation piece in our dining room. I'm looking forward to doing more business with John!

    Blowing Rock WoodWorks under John Northup's leadership was absolutely fantastic. He and I created a wine tasting (live edge) table which came out beautiful. John is a true expert and a great business person to work with. He was always in communication and willing to work with me on what I wanted. I would definitely recommend this company and will certainly be coming back to John for future projects!
