Woodworking is my passion,
Hey there, I’m Lance – the hands, heart, and slightly resin-stained fingers behind Timber Nexus Crafts.
I started this journey in my little workshop back in 2009, armed with a lathe, way too much epoxy, and an obsession with the way wood and resin dance together when light hits them just right. What began as late-night experiments has grown into a full-time passion for creating one-of-a-kind pieces that feel both timeless and modern.
Every river table, handmade pen, charcuterie masterpiece, phone stand, and home decor starts with carefully chosen hardwoods – walnut, maple, cherry, spalted beech, whatever the forest hands me that week – and the highest-quality, non-toxic resins. I pour, torch, sand, and finish everything myself, which means no two pieces will ever be exactly alike. Your table, tray, or earrings will have their own knots, figure, and “flow” that can’t be duplicated. That’s the magic I chase every day.
I’m inspired by wild coastlines, mountain rivers, nebula photos from NASA, and the quiet beauty of imperfect wood. My goal is simple: make something that stops you mid-scroll and makes you say, “Whoa, I need that in my house.”
When I’m not covered in sawdust or waiting patiently for resin to cure, you’ll find me camping, fishing, hunting for burls and live-edge slabs, or experimenting with new glow-in-the-dark pigments and eco-friendly resin formulas.
Timber Nexus Crafts isn’t just a business – it’s where nature meets art in my two hands. Thank you for supporting handmade, for choosing small, and for letting me bring a little piece of the wild into your home.
