Welcome to Hungry Woodworker

Black and white photo of a woman working at a cluttered workbench with woodworking tools and materials.

I am a woodworker in Minnesota building custom heirloom furniture and home decor out of sustainably harvested wood.

Along with this, I write about the work of becoming an artisan.

Thank you for being here.
