Hey there! I’m Chrissy, the lady behind Wood It Good. I bet you want to know who I am and what makes me qualified to talk about woodworking. Well, first things first…
I love making stuff.
I use saws, chisels, and lots of imagination to turn plain wood into cool things. I sure hope you’ll hang out and learn to do it with me!
Before we get in too deep, if you need to get a hold of me, you can contact me here!
How I Got Started!
Woodworking is more than just a hobby for me, it’s a family tradition. I grew up in New England with my grandpa, where our family did all kinds of projects. (Anyone else remember making snow cream?)
He was a woodworking pro, and he taught me everything I know.
He showed me how to use tools, read plans and eventually come up with my own projects. His workshop was like a second home to me. The first big project I made all by myself was a birdhouse.
Cliché, I know. But it’s cliché for a reason! They are easy to make and show off in your yard and the birds love them.
As I got older, my love for woodworking grew. Now, as a mom to three kids, I’m passing on what my grandpa taught me. It’s awesome to see my kids get excited about making stuff.
Talk about a great way to make memories and have time together too.
Watching them get excited gave me an idea…
