Sneak peek at the cabinet build in progress. Mortise and tenon joints, hardwood face framing — this is the kind of project I use to keep pushing my skills forward for the furniture I build for clients.

🇺🇸 Happy Labor Day from Gentle Grain Workshop!

Today is a day to celebrate the people who build, create, craft, and put in the work to make things happen.

That’s something we can definitely get behind. 🔨

If your living room could use a little more character, maybe it’s time to replace that old coffee table with something made to last.

Every piece we build is handcrafted with real wood, attention to detail, and a whole lot of work behind it.

🪵 Built by hand.
🪵 Built to last.
🪵 Built right here in New Jersey.

This Labor Day, support small businesses, support makers, and bring something unique into your home.

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸

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!

The image here was where I realized things went horribly wrong.

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!
