Butternut Brooklyn
Handmade wooden goods from Gowanus, Brooklyn

Like most woodworkers, my interest comes from a familial influence. I spent a healthy amount of time running around my grandpa's workshop while he labored over his beautiful harpsichords. After spending my young adult years in other arenas, the siren song of a freshly honed plane had me longing again for the workshop environment. Several years, + many calluses later, I've found myself knee deep in wood shavings. This time, produced by my own work in a quiet shop in Gowanus, Brooklyn.
We like designs that are classic + minimal, shapes + utility that boil down to the essential. Each item is handmade with the utmost care + attention to detail. We take measures to ensure each piece will be as sturdy + long-lasting as the next.
