I have been in the woodworking industry for 20 years now.  My first job was doing remodel work with a neighbor, that developed into a trim business.  I spent several years with him, doing mostly high-end interior trim work in new homes, developing my skills, and love of woodworking and furniture.  After my time with him, I spent many years with various cabinet shops and architectural millwork companies, both in the shop, and behind the desk doing shop drawings.
Ever since getting into it, I have wanted my own furniture shop, but Deep Wood Workshop did not start out that way.  A good friend of mine, who runs an indie record label, approached me about making some wooden box-sets. Doing several of these, in my garage, turned into a serious business, and I have now done well over 2 dozen different box-sets for various record labels. The income from these jobs has allowed me to move from my garage into a real shop, take on custom work of all types, and spend some time making many of the pieces that you see, for sale here. 
I am also very willing, and eager to work with you on a piece of heirloom quality furniture for you and your family. Whether its a dining table, bookshelf, coffee table, or jewelry box, I promise to meet, or exceed your expectations for our custom project.

    Zach was great to work with. We expanded the project to add a matching cabinet and both were perfect. Work was completed quickly and the items shipped in robust packaging. Would recommend.

    Zach made a wonderful piece of furniture for our family. He gave us a tour of his workshop and showed us his work. He provided updates, including photos, during the project. The piece was delivered with care.

    Working with Zack was a real pleasure. Communication was excellent all through the project sending pics and updates as he progressed. He was even in close enough proximity to deliver himself. It’s great to have a resource like Petersen Design so close to home. The client was ecstatic with the finished product. This Is a key client of mine having been with them for 25+ years and the job Petersen Design did help maintain that relationship
