Our Story

We started like several other family run businesses. Our woodworking skills started when we were very young, working in the garage with dad, building all kinds of things out of necessity. Those lessons taught to us, along with the core values instilled in us during our time in the U.S. Marine Corps have stayed with us throughout our career. They have fueled our passion, and helped us grow into the small, family run, veteran owned business that we are today! We started just how dad did, building projects in the garage out of necessity. We are currently working on teaching our sons the same skills that we learned all those years ago!

  • "I absolutely love how they are willing to go above and beyond for their customers. I received custom kids sized cornhole boards and they look incredible. Not only are they perfect size for my son but the quality of the boards are exceptional. The boards are made to withstand anything my kids try to do to them. I highly recommend this talented family ran business. You won't be disappointed!"

  • "Above Average Woodworking is crafting absolutely beautiful cutting boards.....We received our cutting board today and I literally gasped when I opened it, it is GORGEOUS. It's huge and sturdy and the wood is too pretty to even chop on. If you are a kitchen girly like me or you need a pretty new charcuterie board or even if you just want a piece to display in your kitchen, message the page and let Alex make you a work of art."
