Our Story

 

Headwaters Woodworking began in 2023 with the goal of creating hand-crafted, authentic, solid wood furniture for families to enjoy for generations.

The inspiration for Headwaters Woodworking came when our owner, Preston Brown, realized that a legacy he could create for his son was a hand-made dining table. This is where his family could grow and care for each other every day, year after year. Beginning with a family dining table, Headwaters Woodworking was born.

Family traditions start around the table and heirloom furniture keeps the traditions alive for generations.

“A dining table is a piece of furniture you touch every day, it’s the epicenter of our homes and is the place where families grow together and spend time together each day,” says Preston.

       We exist for two reasons

1) To give busy families a reason to gather together each and every day and slow down our lives to connect and support each other.

2) To give families a way to build heritage and create a legacy that spans generations through custom wood furniture.

 

 

                                             

Hand-made solid wood furniture is what generations before us could pass down through the family. Mass-produced furniture will break and fall apart, it can’t carry stories and traditions through generations like solid wood furniture does. Hand-crafted furniture creates a living storyline that each generation can take part in.

Custom furniture gives you the ability to express your own creativity, style, tone, and mood. From chic midcentury pieces, to elegant Queen Ann style - we create wood furniture that you help inspire and design.

“The process of building custom furniture requires the participation of our clients. I want to know where it will be located, the dimensions of the room, how it will be used, what it will hold, the type of wood and finish you prefer, what style and tone you want, and how you see it used in the future,” says Preston.

Our design process is iterative, we like to connect with clients throughout the build and hear their thoughts and opinions as we progress through the process. The more input we receive the more we feel that we’re building something significant. It’s a piece of furniture that we can create for their family to use for generations.

Headwaters symbolizes the term for "original source", which is why we believe that the source of a family's traditions start around a piece of hand-crafted heirloom furniture.

Headwaters Woodworking is a unique woodworking shop that creates more than furniture, we help families create traditions that last for generations.
