From the workbench to your home

Every piece from Next Chapter Woodworks begins right here at the workbench.

This is where ideas turn into sketches, rough lumber becomes something new, and each planter slowly takes shape one cut, one sanding pass, and one detail at a time.

The shop is where the Adopt-A-Planter animals are born — pigs, sheep, dachshunds, horses, and whatever new characters decide to wander in next. Sometimes they’re finished quickly, and sometimes they evolve as the project takes shape.

From time to time I like to share a look behind the scenes. You might see a new planter in progress, a fresh design being tested, or the early stages of something that will soon be heading to the farmyard.

Many of these pieces find homes before they ever make it to the market.

So if you see something on the workbench that catches your eye, don’t hesitate to reach out — it might still be looking for a home.

We're constantly dreaming up new planter designs! Currently, we're exploring modular planters that can be reconfigured and wall-mounted options for smaller spaces. Our inspiration often comes from nature, modern architecture, and even everyday objects. A walk in the woods or a visit to a local art gallery can spark an idea that eventually takes shape on our workbench. The possibilities with wood are endless, and that's what keeps us excited for the next project.
