About Guardian Oak Woodworks

It started in 2016 with a few home decor pieces and furniture built for my wife. Then I remodeled our kitchen and taught myself how to build cabinets and doors from scratch, learning as I went. In 2018 my wife and I started doing local farmers markets and sharing on social media, and friends and family started asking me to build things for them too, everything from tables and beds to cabinet doors and full kitchens.

Guardian Oak Woodworks is the next step: a name of its own for the craft that grew out of a kitchen remodel and a few pieces built out of the garage for the people I love.

The name and the mark

An oak is slow to grow and stands firm once its rooted. The. St. Michael, the guardian and defender of faith, stands for strength and courage. Together they say what I want every piece to be: strong, faithful, and built to protect what matters at home.

“Establish the work of our hands.” (Psalm 90:17)

Built in Acadiana, for Acadiana

Ten years in, I build custom furniture in Delcambre, Louisiana, for homeowners who want something made for their space. If you have a dining table in mind, or a piece that’s been on your list for years, I’d like to hear about it
