About Us
Novelty Woodworks is a one-person custom furniture shop in Novelty, Ohio, built on a simple belief: furniture should be handed down, not thrown out.
The maker
I've been building furniture for 8 years, and Novelty Woodworks is where that work found a home. Every piece — from a dining table down to a cutting board — is designed, cut, joined, and finished by me, at one bench in Novelty, Ohio.
I don't outsource, and nothing is particleboard. It's wood and honest joinery, and I'll tell you exactly how it was made.
I am inspired to build Modern Shaker Style furniture. Clean lines, tapered legs, an occasional simple curve, and a few dovetails.
Please be patient with orders, I will be as honest as I can with lead times on custom pieces.
Why “Novelty”
The name comes from my hometown — Novelty, Ohio, out in Geauga County. It's a small place. There's nothing novel about what I do. Just good wood, sharp tools, time-tested joinery, and the patience to do it right. That's the whole philosophy.
