Holiday season is almost here. Your house is about to be judged by the in-laws whether you like it or not — give them something to talk about with a custom live edge coffee table.

Let's get it built before the holidays hit — reach out and let's talk design.

After my first attempt at learning some new techniques didn't go so well, I was able to save that piece and turn it into something good!

Hi everyone! I’m Nick, the owner and maker behind Gentle Grain Workshop.

I’m a local woodworker creating handcrafted hardwood pieces including charcuterie boards, cutting boards, custom signs, and unique home décor made from quality hardwoods.

I’m currently looking to connect with a few local shops, boutiques, cafés, and gift stores that enjoy supporting local makers and offering their customers something unique and handmade.

If you own a business that you think would be a good fit, or if you know of a local shop that loves carrying products from small makers, I’d really appreciate an introduction.

I’d love the opportunity to share some of my work and see if we can create a partnership that supports both local businesses.

Thank you for supporting small makers and local craftsmanship!

This is what "extra" looks like when it's done right.

Our tiered serving tray held 80+ skewers at a recent event — and it's just as at home with a simple cheese plate on a Tuesday night.
Swipe to see the full lineup: live-edge boards, mixed-wood cutting boards, and serving trays all handcrafted right here in NJ.

Shop the collection at gentlegrainworkshop.com or DM me for a custom piece.
