Solomon Bruce Woodworking

Unique, handcrafted works of wood fashioned with respect for the continuity of life

Life is in the doing.

“Every art, and every science aims at some good.”

“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or

believe to be beautiful.”

Original designs. Solid Construction. The things that people use in their lives ought to be fashioned with thoughts about functionality. The materials that touch people’s lives ought to be chosen with respect for the purpose to which it is intended. With function in mind, our designs join appreciation for wood’s material characteristics with designs and construction that are useful, beautiful, and unique.

"Things won are done; joy's soul lies in the doing."

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

We appreciate the natural beauty and character of real wood and real lumber. It is my intent to create objects that respect the unique properties of the materials I use in my shop. Whether that object is intended to be furniture, furnishing, or final resting place it will be intended to endure, display good character, and respect.
