Williams Woodcraft

Cut from
the Grain.
Built with Grit.

Custom CNC relief carving and handcrafted woodwork from High Point, NC. Every piece is designed in-house, machined on the X-Carve, and finished by hand.

Every line is intentional. Every pass of the bit is deliberate. Wood doesn't forgive shortcuts — and neither do I.

From sapele dragons to cherry wedding gifts, each piece carries the weight of its purpose and the honesty of its grain.

From Concept to Carve

Design

We start with your vision. I work the concept in Vectric Aspire — toolpaths, depths, and geometry — before anything touches wood.

Select

I source the right wood for the job. Species, grain direction, and thickness all matter — walnut, cherry, sapele, maple.

Machine

The X-Carve runs the roughing, finishing, and detail passes. Multiple bits, multiple setups, measured in thousandths.

Finish

Hand-sanding, Danish Oil, spray poly. The finish is what separates a machined blank from something worth hanging.

Have Something in Mind?

Wedding gifts, memorial pieces, home décor, business signage — if you can describe it, I can design it and carve it. Every commission starts with a conversation.
