Handmade in Kentucky
Cedar, cut and finished by hand.
Bird feeders, miniature porch swings, and custom pieces — built one at a time in a shop in Owingsville. Shipped nationwide, or picked up local.
Photo needed · the hero
One finished piece, where it actually lives.
A full-size porch swing hanging on a real porch, or a feeder on a tree with a bird on it. Shot wide, in daylight, phone held level. This is the one image the whole site rests on and none of the 32 photos does the job — they're all on a picnic table, a bedsheet, or in the shop.
Built one at a time.
Every piece is cut, sanded, and finished by hand. No production line, no two exactly alike — and most of the work is the sanding nobody notices.

Cedar mostly. It stands up to weather without much fuss and it takes a finish beautifully. Four samples live on the bench so you can pick with your eyes.

Harley's dad was a carpenter for twenty-five years. His daughter has started joining in — picking up scraps, asking what a chisel does.

The same six pieces, shot the same way.
These six are the real products at the real prices, but they were shot in six different places — grass, a post, a bedsheet — so the grid looks uneven. One background, one light, one angle for all six and this section goes from acceptable to sharp. A white sheet on the bench in daylight is enough.
Custom work
Tell him what you want built.
Names and dates burnt into the wood, a dog's silhouette, a size that fits your porch. Every piece gets drawn to scale before a board is cut.
Photo needed · the engraving
An engraved family sign, finished.
The Torres sign, or any sign with a name burnt and torched. This is the highest-value thing he makes and there isn't one photo of it. Shoot it flat, in daylight, close enough to read the letters.
Asset needed · the drawing
A clean screenshot of one CAD drawing.
He draws every piece to scale before cutting — no competitor on Etsy can say that. But a phone photo of a monitor looks scrappy. A straight screen capture of the file does it justice. Harley's call whether his drawings go public at all.
The finishes
Same board, four different lives.
Four sample sticks live on the bench — same cedar, four finishes, and they look like four different pieces of wood. Folks pick with their eyes, not from a name off a can, so Harley would rather show you.

Photo needed · the most important one
Harley. And his daughter at the bench.
There is not one human face in the 32 photos, and the whole story is three generations of hands. Every reference site puts the maker on the page — it's what turns a shop into a person you'd buy from. Two phone photos fix it: him at the bench, and his daughter beside him.
The shop
Propane trucks by day. Cedar by evening.
Harley drives LP gas trucks across central Kentucky, then works in the shop most evenings and weekends. His dad was a carpenter for twenty-five years, and Harley refuses to throw away a nail — so there's a real chance one holding your piece together came out of his grandfather's toolbox.
It's slower that way. That's the point.
“Well made and arrive to my aunt in perfect condition. Now to just get a photo of Herbert using her new chair.”
