Our Team

  • Dave Sander

    Owner & Maker

    Dave has been woodworking for about 15 years, designing things for himself during most of that time. Over the past 2 years he has been asked to make things for friends that have become quite popular so he decided to open up a shop and offer those things to others. During that time he has also expanded in to Woodturning (Bowls and vases) as well as glass and glass fusion.

  • Nelson

    Shop Dog and Best Buddy

    Always ready to help, if help means cuddles. Champion napper.

    Nelson was rescued from Prosser, WA and we knew it was love at first site. He has been a family member for 9 years and could never be replaced. We lost him suddenly in April 2024 but he will never be forgotten. We just sincerely hope that he knew how much he was truly loved.

  • Alby

    Assistant to the Shop Dog

    Co-conspirator and best friend.

    Alby was rescued from California and looked like a wet rat on the Petfinder website. Even so, the maker's wife knew she was destined to be home with us. She was quite feral at first but she quickly settled in and has now become quite the spoiled little girl.

  • Lily

    Shop Dog

    Lily was a foster fail. She is a true island girl at heart having come from a rescue in Hawaii by way of So Cal. She absolutely loved hanging with her brother and sister but she loves her humans most of all. She is a supreme cuddler and spends most of her days lounging. In the shop she is there mostly for moral support and the occasional technique correction.

  • Milo & Jack

    The newest boys to the shop. They are both still puppies so their shop time involves playing, trying to eat wood chips and generally getting in the way. They have been a welcome addition.
