My Story

My name is Abby and I grew up in rural Missouri. I’ve traveled the continent doing a variety of scientific jobs in Environmental Research and Critical Care Nursing. Now I’m settling down back home to do what I love most: making truly unique items inspired by the people I’ve met and the places I’ve been.

Drawing from my family’s German heritage, everything I make is hand-crafted, personalized, unique, and literally one-of-a-kind. If you can think of it, I can find a way to make it happen. I love working with clients to design, cut, and build their ideas. I like to focus on traditional wood toys and games— the kind you think of in old Christmas paintings. I also love to reimagine old woodworking techniques to make modern solutions like cell phone holders and marshmallow crossbows. You know, the kind of stuff that’s a little against the grain.
