Jim Blexrude

Jim Blexrude is a passionate woodworker known for transforming raw, reclaimed, and locally sourced wood into striking works of functional art. With an eye for detail and a deep respect for the natural character of wood, Jim blends traditional techniques with modern materials — including vibrant epoxy resins — to create one-of-a-kind pieces that tell a story.

His favorite creations are those that hold personal significance for the customer. People often send us wood from trees on their own property, carrying deep meaning, or special pieces of wood handed down through generations. Being able to customize a piece that resonates so personally brings him immense satisfaction.

What began as a personal hobby has evolved into a lifelong craft rooted in patience, precision, and creativity. From sculptural vases and intricate inlays to custom furniture and decor, Jim’s work celebrates the unique beauty in every knot, grain, and imperfection.

Send us your treasured piece, and Jim will transform it into a timeless work of art to be cherished and passed down for generations, creating memories that endure for decades.
