BristleWoodCraft
Meet the Maker
Hello! We're Anna and TJ.
We’ve been building things together as long as we’ve known each other.
From dovetails to 3D printing, we’ve built a ton of useful and attractive objects over the last decade (some before we knew each other, but most after we met)! Making physical objects brings a huge amount of joy to us, and we’re excited to be able to share some of our designs and things we make with you.
The name BristleWoodCraft is inspired by a specific gnarled and twisted Bristlecone Pine in the glacial cirque known as Hell’s Hole. It’s a peaceful and inspiring hike in the Mount Evan's wilderness a bit past Idaho Springs.
Anna started her making journey with textiles and upcycling furniture. She loves growing things, and has slowly turned TJ into a green thumb as well.
TJ started by getting into 3D printing back when it was very unreliable and expensive, before being lured into the meditative hobby of hand-tool woodworking. He has been a hoarder of off-cuts for over a decade.
All of our products are designed and made by us from our home workshop in beautiful Broomfield, Colorado. We're passionate about ethical consumption, and we try to source materials as sustainably and locally as possible. This means in practice that you probably won't see any exotic hardwoods (aside from any reclaimed lumber). We also want you to enjoy the things you buy for decades to come, so everything we make is designed with an eye towards long-term use.
How it’s Made
This schock set is a bit of a labor of love! We start with dried lumber, mill it to thickness, rough out the pockets for the pieces, use a jig to engrave the logo, paint in the logo, round over and sand everything smooth, hand rub in Tried & True, resaw additional lumber for the pieces (which are all elm hardwood), cut out those pieces on the laser cutter, thickness on the sander, and then finally apply more Tried & True and buff out.
