our products create memories

Inked Woodworking was started with the intentions of creating memories with long lasting woodworking wares for many years to come.  Profit was never the main source of motivation, and if you happen to know any woodworkers, they can certainly verify this to be true!  No, the first product that was ever made was one that was used for a little girl to get her 'princess' pictures made for a local photographer.  From there, the business started to take shape.  It was then that I realized that I could spend my quality time building really cool things for people that were going to be used to create meaningful conversations and memories for years to come.  Hearing those stories has always been more important to Inked Woodworking than the monetary payment received for said products.

Our best selling Cedar Cooler Stands have been an absolute must have since a customer came to us with a picture of a pallet cooler stand.  I thought it was the coolest thing that I've ever seen!  Unfortunately, the competition for these coolers has exploded, but Inked Woodworking has been crushing the scene because of the high quality materials and customization that we offer.  Instead of pallets and nails showing, you'll get rough sawn Cedar (naturally rot resistant, insect repellant, and little/no maintenance), waterproof glue, galvanized fasteners, and top quality bottle opener/catcher.  We spare no expense to deliver such an amazing 'must have' for you and your family.  Now, that being said, yes, they are not the cheapest that you can purchase.  The cost of materials coupled with shipping prices have exploded since Covid, and the actual 'take home' after it is built and shipped would flabbergast your senses!  Again, Inked Woodworking will never be able to retire making these, but at least you'll have a wicked awesome Cedar Cooler Stand to entertain friends and family with delicious ice cold libations!

Now let's get back to the point I'm trying to make about making memories.  The products you see on this website often have meaningful intentions from those that purchase them.  For instance, this American Pride Rustic Cooler Stand was purchased for the owner of a company for his retirement.  This gentleman is, not was, a US MARINE who proudly served his country in Vietnam and came back to create a life for himself and his family.  

I was contacted by a nice lady looking for his retirement gift.  She told me about this Marine and his love for making beer at home.  THIS is the PERFECT gift for him to feel that pride in the USA Flag while filling the cooler with his homemade brews.  I feel blessed to be able to create this product to be shared by this HERO and all of the people at the company when they present it to him early April.  ​

The coolest thing about these coolers is that the customer has the option to add a little extra to the lid with a hand engraving last name or saying.  It is cut in using a hand router and burned to give it that rustic look.  It really does look cool when all is said and done.  Of course others will use a CNC machine and lasers, but Inked Woodworking is ALL about handmade, high skill applications that come from the heart.  Don't get me wrong, those CNC machines make the cleanest quality items I've ever seen, but at the end of the day, I want my hands to feel the sawdust that are covering my callouses from the personal touch I had in creating such a cool item. 

In closing, Inked Woodworking cares because I care.  I'll never stop caring.  For anyone that knows me, they know that my heart goes out to each customer on every single piece of woodworking I create.  I strive for perfection, and when that doesn't happen, I will make it right.  The values and morals that drive this business are second to none, and you can feel right at home when you make the decision to purchase something unique and meaningful for someone you care about.
