Dennis Pickerl has been wood working for the past 30 years. He specializes in crafting traditional, live edge and hand-carved oak & walnut wood furniture. Dennis’ woodworking expertise includes mission style and live edge furniture as well as maloof-inspired rocking chairs.

Beyond building, Dennis shares his passion for wood working by offering in-person beginner woodworking classes. He developed this interest while working at Lee Valley, and today continues teaching others at his own shop. Dennis has taught dozens of people how to make their own charcuterie boards.

Dennis sources the black walnut wood used for these charcuterie board classes, and all of his live edge furniture projects, from Ontario.
