Who we are

From Corporate Life to Craftsmanship

After spending over two decades working behind a desk, I felt the pull toward something more tangible—something that would let me create with my hands and connect more deeply with my community. Woodworking has been part of my life since childhood, and returning to it now feels less like starting something new and more like coming home.

Building Hollow & Hound

Hollow & Hound Woodworks was born from a love of heritage, craftsmanship, and the belief that the things we bring into our homes should carry meaning. Each board, each joint, and each finish tells a story—of the wood itself, of the maker, and of the person who welcomes it into their life.

The name Hollow & Hound is a nod to both tradition and place: the rolling hollows of Virginia and the hound at the heart of Middleburg’s hunting culture. It reflects my belief that woodworking is more than products—it’s about roots, stories, and connections.

Looking Ahead

As Hollow & Hound grows, I look forward to sharing this craft more widely through woodworking classes. From beginner tool sessions and simple make-and-take projects, to family workshops and more advanced techniques, the shop will become a space where people can learn, create, and take pride in building something with their own hands.

More Than Woodwork

Hollow & Hound isn’t just about woodworking; it’s about creating a lifestyle rooted in craftsmanship and community. Whether you’re commissioning a custom piece, attending a future class, or simply curious about the process, my goal is to make woodworking approachable, enjoyable, and meaningful.

Let’s build something together.
