Our laser engraving offers a unique way to commemorate special moments or promote your brand. The sky is the limit from personalized key chains, bottle openers, ornaments, or custom family and business signs. We ensure that each piece conveys your vision perfectly.
Collaboration is key to designing the perfect piece for your home or as a gift. Working with clients is my favorite part of the process. I love taking a client's vision and turning it into a beautiful and functional work of art. Let's see what we can create together!
CUSTOMIZED DESIGNS
WHY CHOOSE US
HANDCRAFTED
Each piece is handcrafted by me, from removing the bark to the final coat of board butter. I am self-taught, learning the basics of woodworking, epoxy resin, and laser engraving, from YouTube during COVID and, thanks to the help of many amazing woodworkers at Makersmiths in Leesburg, VA and Purcellville, VA., I continue to learn and refine my skills.
SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESS
When purchasing a piece from Kapers Woodworks, you are not only supporting my small business but many others.
Heather Haney, owner of Calluna's Lens, takes product photography to the next level. She never ceases to amaze me with how she brings out the best in my pieces.
The locally sourced, naturally and industrially felled lumber used to create each handcrafted piece is purchased from several small, family-owned lumber mills in Warrenton, VA, Timberville, VA, Catharpin, VA, and Charles Town, WV.
Whenever possible, board hardware is purchased from Habitat for Humanity Restore, in order to give back to the community.
WOMAN-OWNED BUSINESS
I am proud to be a part of a community of female woodworkers locally and virtually. My dream is to one day build my own shop and provide classes, especially to women and girls. Woodworking is not a hobby that most women take up and I would like to change that. From simply learning how to hang shelves to designing and creating boards and trays, the sky is the limit. My motto...Power tools are not just toys for boys!
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
My passion for woodworking started simply enough with the need for desks during COVID. I quickly realized, given my schedule already filled with a full-time job, an active son, and my role as a wife as well as limited space, that building large-scale pieces would
not work. I stumbled upon some local walnut and started playing around with ideas for pieces I would use in my own home. After creating a custom seahorse board for my son’s swim team 4th of July raffle (now an annually requested item!), I discovered a creative side I didn’t realize I had.
LOCALLY SOURCED LUMBER PARTNERS
When purchasing a piece from Kapers Woodworks, you are not only supporting my small business but many others.
