Hi, I’m Dan. Nice to meet you!

My “official” adult career started in the US Navy in 1992. After an honorable discharge in ‘99, I spent several decades working in IT for the Department of Defense. I have enjoyed woodworking for as long as I can remember. Getting into the shop after work was always the best part of my day.

When COVID hit, I started making cutting boards and small custom wood products. My wife, Nancy, and I decided to create a company and start selling these items. Dancy Wood was born. Between September and December of 2020, we sold upwards of 60 cutting boards.

One day, Nancy was posting our latest inventory of cutting boards online. Literally seconds after posting the final board online, the entire 12 boards were sold out. I started thinking that maybe...just maybe…I could do this for a living!

In September of 2021, my sister died out of the blue from a brain aneurysm. That made me rethink my entire life. I decided woodworking was my true calling, so I left my IT career and started working in Dancy Wood full-time in October 2021.

Since then, we have sold countless cutting boards, but I wanted to build bigger and nicer things. In early 2022, I started branching out and started working with live edge slabs, and I fell in love with them. 

We are currently building tables out of live edge hardwood slabs, including dining, kitchen, and coffee tables. We have made some with epoxy rivers, and some without. We work with the client to make their dreams come true.

If you are interested, please contact us, and let’s chat!
