PKBrown Woodworking

PKBrown Woodworking is a one-person workshop near Tivoli, New York, in the Hudson Valley, creating handcrafted items that bring the natural beauty of wood into the home. The maker selects rough-cut lumber from local mills and chooses each piece for its distinctive grain, knots, and character. Using small-shop equipment and hand tools rather than computer-controlled machining, every item is carefully made to let the wood’s individual patterns shine. Because each piece of wood is unique, no two finished items are exactly alike.

The collection includes jewelry boxes, trinket boxes, coffee grinders, pepper grinders, salt and pepper sets, cutting boards, mailbox door banks, and home décor. The workshop also offers kitchen aids and showcases its work through an online shop, including Etsy, as well as at scheduled shows. PKBrown Woodworking grew from its maker’s lifelong interest in trees and woodcraft, informed by nearly twenty years as an arborist. The workshop describes itself as a solar-powered Hudson Valley shop, reflecting the maker’s preference for a simple, lower-impact way of life.
