I’m Mike — the hands, eyes, and heart behind DuskWoodPNW. I didn’t come into woodworking through a traditional path. I started with a 3D printer in a small apartment, chasing the thrill of making things from scratch. That curiosity took me into engineering, where I worked professionally in porcelain additive manufacturing, and later into CNC machining. But it was wood — raw, real, imperfectly perfect — that pulled me in for good.

I’m a self-taught woodworker who’s learned through countless hours of trial, error, and obsession. My small shop is where ideas become objects, where I get to shape something lasting from a material that’s already lived a long life. I build with intention, sourcing local and sustainably harvested wood whenever possible, and designing pieces that feel both grounded and distinct.

When I’m not in the shop, I’m out exploring the Pacific Northwest — the forests, coastlines, and textures of this region inspire much of what I create. I take pride in the details, in listening closely to what clients are really asking for, and in crafting furniture that tells a story.

Whether it's a custom commission or a one-off piece, I’m here to make something meaningful — something that reflects both the natural beauty of the wood and the purpose it’s meant to serve in your life.
