A Maker who has been a valued part of this community for several years.
Customers say that this Maker ships promptly after completing a project.
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am a professional environmental educator and naturalist in Western North Carolina who enjoys using locally harvested and reclaimed hardwoods in designing and building functional woodwork.
I have a strong interest in creating works that highlight the biodiversity and character of the Southern Appalachians. If that appeals you you, let me know!
The wood I use in all projects is sustainably harvested and in most cases locally sourced. I do not use any exotic hardwoods, as these are often not harvested sustainably and create a large environmental impact by shipping them to the United States. All wood glue is food-safe when cured and waterproof. Finishes are all non-toxic.

For All-Natural Appalachian Cutting BoardI just received my cherry wood cutting board today. It's an incredible work of art! I'm very happy both with the quality of the work and the fair price that Jonathan quoted for the project. If you have an opportunity to work with this exceptionally skilled artist, do so! Thanks, Jonathan, for this new treasured family heirloom.

For Appalachian Edge Grain Hardwood Cutting BoardsI was delightfully surprised by the quality of Stonefly Woodcrafts' work. It is always a bit of a gamble to order online and I couldn't have been happier with the results. The cutting boards I ordered were skillfully crafted and obviously done with care. A great value for the price- they could definitely charge more for this work! Perfect items for gifts and great customer service that makes me want to place an order the next time I need a quick gift idea or something more intricately hand crafted for a friend or family. Thanks again!
