Kostello Crafts

Hand-planed timber and turned green wood.

Small-batch turned bowls, custom joinery furniture, and immersive bench classes taught directly by the maker.

Studio Services

Commissions, classes, and turned objects.

Custom Commissions

Bespoke tables and architectural storage built to fit domestic spaces using locally sourced fallen timber.

Small-Batch Turnings

End-grain bowls and heirloom boxes finished simply with natural oils and beeswax.

Weekend Bench Classes

Spend two days at the bench learning sharpening, layout, and hand-tool joinery with dedicated lathe time.

The Material

We cut timber according to the grain, not the clock.

Every bowl and table starts with locally salvaged walnut and white oak. Working green timber allows the wood to move naturally as it seasons in the shop.

Surfaces are finished with natural oils and beeswax rather than film finishes, letting the tactile warmth of the grain stay right beneath your hand.
