Our Story

Green Woodworks started with a mother’s simple desire to provide high quality toys to her children at an affordable price point.

The first rainbow I ever made my kids in April 2020.
I made this rainbow on a $30 secondhand scroll saw. It is made of red oak that my husband planed from a piece of firewood.

My name is Brianna. Alongside my husband Derek, and two sons, I officially founded Green Woodworks in January 2021. I had spent the prior 8 months with a covid quarantine hobby, turned side gig to make ends meet, turned full-fledged business. Through the incredible support of friends, neighbors, and family, I was able to grow my skill set (and tool collection) to what you see now.

I was very privileged to already have a shop full of Grampa Green’s old tools. This, coupled with all the machine know-how he instilled in my husband, gave me the boost needed to start creating. I’m forever grateful for the gifts Grampa continues to share with us.

Over time, I upgraded that $30 secondhand scroll saw to a Dewalt 20” variable speed scroll saw. The 10” Rockwell bandsaw has been upgraded to a Rikon 14” 10-326 Deluxe. Now, our products are made from poplar, stained using TinyLand stains, and finished using Livos Clear Natural Oil Sealant.

My goal will always be to get heirloom quality, open ended toys in the hands of anyone who wants to play with them. While some items may be more expensive, it will always be my goal to have something in a price range accessible to most.

Thank you for trusting me and joining me on this journey. I look forward to working with you. ~B
