Ok y’all, you’ve really stepped up these past few days helping us get Storywood rolling again, and I’m so very grateful. Now I’m asking you to step up just one more time and simply share this post.I’m putting together a lil reel of some of our Fall and some of our Winter décor. Tag someone, share… or both.

Good morning friends!

It feels so wonderful to be back into my rustic folk art woodworking. I'm out in the workshop this morn' working on a big rustic sign for a gals son's bedroom while also sizing up the wood for the Jack O Frosts. 🎃 ❄️ If you haven't reserved a Jack O Frost, there is still time and plenty of barnwood. Share this with a friend if you know someone with a smaller space that would appreciate a double-sided Pumpkinman / Snowman for their porch. They will free stand 24" tall.

I appreciate all yalls love, encouragement, prayer & support! Everyone of you are so very special to me and my family. God bless you a wonderful Tuesday.

Hey friends, I sure have missed y’all!

It’s been over two months since Storywood production paused for our move to Lafayette, IN. I’ve been itching to get back to creating barnwood folk art, even while we’re still unboxing and the workshop isn’t 100% set up yet.

This season has been bittersweet. We relocated here for a job, and last week I was very unexpectedly laid off due to a company‑wide RIF. It wasn’t performance related, they shut down furniture production so their chemical engineers can work on a more sustainable product before restarting. It’s been heavy.

But not too heavy for our very big and very good God who holds our tomorrow. I believe He brought us here for a reason, and we’re pressing forward in faith as we settle into this new town and new life.

The good news... my wood shop is officially open again, and I have plenty of time to finish your Storywood orders. Thank you for your patience, and we appreciate your prayers in this season of uncertainty.

Faith is cool. Even in times of uncertainty, I’m certain we serve a very good God who has a plan!

I’ll be messaging each of you who placed orders 9–10 weeks ago to confirm you still need your pieces.

God bless you all! ❤️ Chris, Becca & fam.

Howdy friends! Of course I haven't forgotten about y'all. We are finally moved, last weekend being our first non-moving weekend in our new town in Indiana. I'm working hard this week to have the workshop open for production this weekend! I'll glance at the Fall orders list this evening and reach out to each of you in Messenger. Thanks for your patience! This here is a pic of our cute lil cottage-like home that sits across from a river and backs up to a forest! God is good! ❤️ ~Chris

My Story: How Storywood was born.

I was born in Southern California, tucked right up against miles of citrus groves. As a kid, I’d wander those canals & dirt roads and stare at the tucked away homes with old farm tools on the porch and oak furniture inside. My mom decorated our place with Amish pieces and those cozy Thomas Kinkade cottage paintings, the kind that make you feel like you could step right inside and hear a creek running out back. That quiet, safe, rural feeling always stuck with me.

I’ve been an artist for as long as I can remember. My grandma, a first generation Dutch gal and artist, used to sit me at her table and simply say, “Draw.” Grade school art awards, teenage sketches of dragons & faeries, a bachelor’s degree in art… creativity has always been the thread running through my life.

Fast forward a couple decades to Nashville, TN. One evening in 2019, I was unwinding by the lake after work when I noticed a pile of driftwood washed up on the shore. Smooth, knobby branches, full of character. I thought, “These are table legs!” That was my aha moment. I took some home and started making lamps, mug trees, tea lights, anything that felt rustic, alive & full of character.

Not long after, I remembered my love for barnwood. I’d even built a kitchen table years earlier from Tennessee barnwood while still living in California. I told folks when we moved to Tennessee, "I brought it home.” With my sign‑shop background and CNC experience, it clicked... I can marry barnwood with custom signage and folk art. Driftwood décor and barnwood signage became the first heartbeat of Southern Seasoned - rustic wood décor.

A friend nudged me toward barnwood candy corn, and that turned into trees, eggs, snowmen, fruit... the whole rustic décor line. Life got busy for a while, but in 2025 my mom said, “You should start doing your wood stuff again.” She was right. I picked it back up, and y’all helped breathe life back into this cozy countryside dream.

Southern Seasoned (soon to be Storywood), didn’t start the day I opened a page, it started when a little boy wandered citrus groves, stared at cottage paintings, and fell in love with rural beauty. Thank you for being part of this journey. God bless you all and keep us in your prayers. Today is our big moving day!

One value I hold onto no matter what is intentional craftsmanship. When I make something, I’m thinking about the moment YOU hold it in your hands.. I want you to see warmth in it, see the marks of something well loved, and at the same time feel a little loved yourself. That’s why I slow down and shape each piece with purpose. If it doesn’t carry that feeling, it doesn’t leave my shop.Thank you, for being here and rooting for me. Another two weeks, give or take, and we’ll be moved and back into production.
God bless ❤️ ~Chris

SOLD!

This 250th Barn Tin Eagle Flag found its new home recently, and I couldn’t be happier for where it’s headed. This piece is mounted to a thick, chunky slab of authentic barnwood, full of grain, character, and that real‑deal rustic charm y’all love.The gal who bought it said she’d been looking for “something patriotic with soul,” and this one fit the bill. It’s always a good feeling sending a piece out that carries both history and heart. Appreciate y’all supporting handmade barnwood décor, every sale keeps this little shop humming along.

God bless you a great Monday! ❤️ Chris
