Get to Know Me

Welcome to my website and thank you for shopping and supporting my small business. Back in the early 1990s, I began creating unique wooden gifts for family and friends. Shortly after, word spread with requests to make custom crosses, picture frames, rustic wedding decor, signs, toys and more. From there, I decided to show some of my work online and the rest is history.

If you’re a lover of natural wood in all its unique richness, colors and grains, then you’ve come to the right place! My online shop has the finest selection of handmade wooden gifts and presents for all occasions. Whether that is something special to treat yourself, your home, a timeless treasure for that special someone, an anniversary, house warming, wedding, birthday, or retirement gift – there is something for every event here at CrossWood Creek. Each and every item is made individually by hand, by me one item at a time. Post-Covid, unfortunately, the price of all wood has increased substantially.

Every item you see is designed and individually crafted by me – there is no mass production here. No two items are the same and once they have gone they have gone for good. You can go on a wait list for a similar item. I use all kinds of timbers, whether it be ethically and sustainably sourced, or recycled with respect from old barns or pallets. Products made of solid wood are finished with clear coat spray or beeswax, and kids' toys, cutting boards or kitchen items with food-safe oils. The natural beauty of the wood speaks for itself and ages beautifully. Visit the online Shop to find your distinctive wooden gift or email me for your personalized custom orders, and I will reply with price and approximate time of delivery.

Something for everyone
I can spend days carefully selecting the right piece of wood for each item I make.
