Featured project

A sign I sent to Ryan Sickler's studio

I cut a WayBack sign for comedian Ryan Sickler and sent it to his studio as a gift. Nobody paid for it and there is no sponsorship or partnership here. He hung it up and posted it, which was a good day for a small Arkansas shop.

"This is fire! Thank you @martins_woodwork! It's a great addition to the studio."

Why Martin's Woodwork

You're buying from the person who cuts it

I'm Dylan. I run a small shop in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and I make every piece myself with a jigsaw and a bandsaw. No CNC, no laser engraver, nothing mass produced.

  • You see the layout first

    I draw your design on paper and send you a photo of it, with a firm price, before any wood gets cut.

  • Cut with a jigsaw and bandsaw

    Every shape and letter is cut by hand with a jigsaw or bandsaw.

  • Made for you, not pulled off a shelf

    Your name, your colors, your size. Every piece is made individually for the person who ordered it.

  • Real wood, finished by brush

    Birch ply, pine and cedar, sanded smooth and painted or stained. Made for indoor or covered spots.

One thing worth knowing: these pieces are made for indoors, or an outdoor spot that stays fully covered. They are not finished to sit out in the weather.

Flagship project

Golf Across USA

A wooden map of the country with a recessed pocket for each state, sized to hold a real golf ball. Play a round in a new state, keep the ball, press it in. Layered birch plywood in a solid stained frame.
