About Jeff – JW Wood
Hey, I’m Jeff Walther — a passionate wood craftsman based in Phoenix, Arizona!
Originally from Michigan, I moved to Arizona in 1984. My love for woodworking began in high school, where I crafted everything from bowls to cabinets to lamps. Despite pursuing careers in computer drafting and technology, I always returned to woodworking in my spare time. Now, as I approach retirement, I’m excited to dedicate myself fully to this craft.
Each piece I create is a blend of tradition and innovation, crafted with care and precision. I take pride in sharing my work with others, knowing that each item carries a piece of my passion and dedication.
Thank you for visiting my site and supporting handmade craftsmanship.
How Each Board is Crafted
Starting Process
Each board starts with high quality hard wood. The wood is then cut to precision for making unique shapes that fit together to create stunning patterns.
Assembling the Board
Each shape is carefully glued together with FDA approved TiteBond II water-resistant, premium wood glue. The board is clamped until completely dry then sanded to a perfect finish.
Finishing Touches
The board is then coated with food-safe mineral oil followed by a bees wax finish which makes the board water-proof and long-lasting.
