Handcrafted Wood Furniture
and Home Decor

Passion Meets Craftsmanship

Welcome to Lift Bridge Woodworks, we specialize in custom, handcrafted hardwood tables and wood-based home decor. I discovered a true passion for woodworking during the pandemic which quickly grew into custom woodworking services.

Each piece I create tells its own story because no two pieces of wood are the same. From the knots to the rich, natural grain, I love turning raw materials into functional works of art. Whether you’re dreaming of a rustic live-edge table or a modern bold epoxy river table, I’m here to help bring your vision to life. Let’s make something extraordinary together.
