Work Background
Owner & Woodworker
Jesse's Place WoodworksOwner & Woodworker
Sep. 2021Lawrenceville, Georgia, United StatesAs a child, my brother and I would "help" my father with handy work. My Dad was an engineer which meant by nature, he would go overboard when it came to building things. From projects around the house, to my mother's craft business and my favorite, school assignments! Imagine being the only student in elementary school who showed up with the "object in motion balloon popper project" with nails sharpened on a grinder to pop the balloon. Needless to say, this contributed to my interest in building things. The artistic side I get from my mother. She has an incredible talent for the arts and has spent the better part of her life as a folk artist / "Junker" as she calls it. My childhood definitely influenced my love for the arts, but woodworking is a path I found on my own. Changing a seemingly normal and plain object into something beautiful and useful is a very intimate thing for me. For those that know me personally, you know what I'm talking about, but that's a story for another day. Not sure why but I've always been fascinated with the game of chess. The history behind the game, craftsmanship and skill that goes into it extends beyond the game itself but also in the tools used to play it. You don't find that in many other games. I made my first board for my son Elijah. I was a little ambitious on my first build but all in all it turned out great! So that's where it began. While I still make custom chessboards, I craft cutting boards, charcuterie boards, small furniture, keepsake boxes, and I'm always open to taking on custom requests. Woodworking has become a real passion of mine, well my second-place passion. My first is my beautiful wife Capri and our four incredible boys (Eli, Micah, Lawson & Myles). Perhaps it is the time alone or the sense of feeling productive outside of the normal day to day. Whatever it is, I love it and want to share it with any and all who are interested.
