Woodworking Shop
Welcome to Forest Hills Woodworking, where the art of woodworking meets a passion for quality.
Woodworking in Action
Welcome to Forest Hills Woodworking, a humble woodworking shop where craftsmanship and quality take precedence over grandeur. I’m Chad Konickson, the sole proprietor of this labor of love.
I take pride in the art of handmade craftsmanship. It’s not about flashy trends or mass production; it’s about crafting pieces that endure, becoming cherished elements of your home. Each creation is meticulously constructed and finished by my hands. There are no assembly lines here, only the steady hum of tools and the patient rhythm of craftsmanship. Each piece is crafted with care and attention to detail. My aim is to create pieces that not only serve a practical purpose but also become a cherished element of your home.

Carefully Selected, Premium-Quality Wood
I believe in the natural beauty of wood and letting the materials speak for themselves. I choose hardwood based on its unique character and grain patterns. Live edge hardwood, with its raw and natural form, adds a touch of authenticity, making each live edge item a celebration of the inherent character of the wood.

Design
The design process is thoughtful and intentional, with an emphasis on craftsmanship that stands the test of time. I craft some pieces in advance. Others, I craft on demand, tailored to specific dimensions, wood choices, and finishes, ensuring a personal touch and a seamless integration into your home. I work closely with customers to understand their vision and preferences. Every piece, whether pre-made or custom, carries the hallmark of craftsmanship and dedication to quality.
Meet Chad
My story with woodworking is one rooted in a deep appreciation of the intrinsic beauty and resilience of wood. I find joy in the experience of working with my hands, transforming raw materials into items that are both useful and beautiful. It was a simple joy that began within the walls of our home.
Starting small, I crafted pieces for personal use, adding a touch of handmade warmth to our living spaces. The allure of woodworking grew, and soon, I found myself extending this gift to friends and family. As the whispers of my creations circulated, a seed was planted—an idea that perhaps there was something special in the pieces I crafted.
With the genuine encouragement of those close to me, I began to craft with a broader purpose. It was then that Forest Hills Woodworking came to life—a venture born not just from the love of woodworking but from the shared appreciation and encouragement of a community that believed in the uniqueness and craftsmanship of each piece.
Today, every piece that bears the mark of Forest Hills Woodworking is a testament to a journey that started with a simple love for the craft. I invite you to explore this collection. I hope each piece is imbued with the craftsmanship, dedication, and the joy I feel from creating something that you find truly special.
