What I do

I handcraft unique furniture that you will cherish for your lifetime and pass down to future generations. Made from the finest hardwoods, I create heirlooms one piece at a time, painstakingly focusing on workmanship and quality.

Design

Select from my gallery of products or I will build your dream piece from a photo or something that's caught your eye on Pinterest. I'll make this a truly unique experience for you and update you during the entire process--from the initial selection of wood, through the build and finishing processes, and on to the final product. We do not mass produce furniture: we make each piece with its own unmistakeable look.

Wood Selection

While the ultimate selection of wood is up to you, I like to pair woods that contrast in colors like Walnut & Black Limba, Mahogany & Maple, Walnut and Maple Ambrosia, and Cherry and Canary to achieve my signature look.

Finishes

I love the look of natural wood and prefer to pick the right wood grain for your special project, I also provide a variety of stain options.

Send me a message!

I would love to hear from you.

Craftsmanship Next Level

November 20, 2025

I have so many good things to say about Willis Wood Workings (W3) I truly had the most amazing experience! I ordered a custom kids’ table for my son, and it turned out far beyond anything I imagined. The table was handcrafted from two beautiful types of wood, and the attention to detail is unmatched.

He took the time to incorporate special engravings that made the piece truly personal and meaningful. You can immediately tell how much pride and care goes into his work and each piece. The quality, the craftsmanship, and the thoughtful design are truly hard to come by these days, there is so much passion and love in each piece.

The table is sturdy, stunning, and something my son will use and cherish for years. If you’re looking for a piece that’s not only functional but a true keepsake, Willis Wood workings is the only place I would recommend. Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish!

I would also like to mention that Brian is one of the nicest and kindest people to work with, you can tell that he just loves what he does, it shows in his work. Thank you!

Idyllic, Oversized, Porch Swing Bed

August 14, 2025

I have always dreamed of having a porch swing bed to read and drink coffee on. Once I finally I moved into a home with a porch, I knew I could finally make my dream come true. I went to Brian, who custom-made me the porch swing of my DREAMS. I live in California and wanted to drive the swing from AZ to CA in my SUV, so I sent over the exact dimensions that maximized the space in my car, and a few inspiration photos, and he accommodated every request perfectly. He is thoughtful and knowledgeable about every aspect of a project: he made sure to choose a durable, weather-resistant wood that could still offer the coloring I wanted, he sent progress photos every step of the way, continually asked for my opinion, let me change my mind on some dimensions and variables throughout the process, and added his own style that made the swing even more beautiful than I ever could have pictured. I now live on the porch swing, and it is my most prized piece of furniture. I cannot recommend W3 Wood Workings enough. Thank you!!!

Wall-Mounted Wood Vinyl Record Holders

June 12, 2025

I couldn’t be happier with this handmade wall-mounted vinyl record holders. The craftsmanship is impressive—sturdy, clean lines, and a finish that beautifully highlights the natural grain of the wood. It feels both rustic and modern, making it a perfect accent for my space.

Installation was straightforward, and it holds several records securely without looking cluttered. I love how it displays my favorite albums like artwork—swapping them out is quick and easy, so I can change the vibe of the room anytime.

It’s clear that a lot of care and attention went into making this. If you’re looking for a functional yet stylish way to show off your vinyl collection, I highly recommend this piece. It’s more than just storage—it’s part of the decor.
