About

One shop, one maker

Resonance Woodcraft is my shop in Lathrop, Missouri. I'm Nathan York. My day job is technical design, so everything here starts as a drawing before it turns into sawdust.

Mostly walnut and maple, with the occasional exotic for contrast. I take on a limited number of custom projects at a time so each one gets the attention it deserves.
