Fine things in wood are important…we are becoming aware of the fact that much of our life is spent buying and discarding, and buying again, things that are not good. Some of us long to have at least something, somewhere, which will give us harmony and a sense of durability…things that, through the years, become more and more beautiful, things we can leave to our children.

Phillip Mitchell

I’m a woodworker and furniture maker in the Boone, NC area. I have a background in custom woodworking/design, timber frame carpentry, and sustainable forestry. I’m the owner and craftsman at Stillwater Woodworks LLC, a one-man workshop focused on providing custom design and woodworking services to those who value high-quality construction details, clean and intentional design, and one-on-one client relationships.

I specialize in and accept high-end furniture commissions, interior woodworking projects, custom doors (entry, passage, etc) custom remodeling centered around woodworking/finish carpentry, ink relief wood prints, and custom art framing. I value the design process, planning, organization, efficiency, quality materials, traditional joinery, and the beauty in the simple and natural properties of wood.

I have lived in the Boone area since 2005 and have been building and creating in wood since 2012. I strive to design and create elegant spaces, furniture, woodwork, and art. I wake up every day eager to engage in the ongoing challenges along the journey of craft. It excites me that the journey never really ends; it has many forks, detours, and highways that help contribute to a life rich in beauty, satisfaction, and deep appreciation of the handmade.
