Generations of Exceptional
Craftsmanship
Craft, Not Compromise.
Before this was a business, it was a mindset: talk is cheap, the work speaks.
Wavecrest is the culmination of a lifetime of hard work — the journey of a young artist, born blue-collar. The dichotomy of grit and creativity gave way to true craftsmanship. It launched a one-man war against low-quality, fast furniture. This mission cultivated a crew of like minded and respectable craftsmen.
This shop was built to create heirloom pieces that stand the test of time. We are here to restore dignity to the trade; to set the new standard. We take no part in the throwaway pace of the world. We're here to show what happens when you slow down, respect the process, and build something worth keeping.
Idealistic? Maybe.
But it's honest work — and it's true to the head, heart, and hands.
Wavecrest Woodworking began with a craftsman who never forgot his roots.
Tyler Guthrie
I grew up surrounded by blue-collar work and a respect for the trades. As a young artist, I found myself drawn to building — not just for function, but for beauty. Over time, that mix of art and hard work shaped a love for true craftsmanship.
After years in the construction industry, I saw how often speed and shortcuts replaced pride and integrity. I started Wavecrest Woodworking to push back against that — to create heirloom-quality work that honors the craft and restores dignity to the trade.
At Wavecrest Woodworking, our mission is simple: to craft pieces that stand the test of time and to carry forward the values of integrity, respect, and ownership in every project we take on.
This business is more than a livelihood — it’s a calling. It’s about teaching the next generation, honoring the ones who came before us, and leaving behind work that speaks long after we’re gone.
Why Wavecrest?
Craft Over Convenience
In today’s world of fast furniture and throwaway products, we stand on the opposite side. Our work is meant to outlast trends, to be repaired instead of replaced, and to carry meaning for the families who live with it.
Built With Integrity
We don’t believe in shortcuts. From the way joints are cut to the way finishes are applied, every detail is intentional. Our promise is simple: if it leaves our shop, it’s something we’d be proud to put in our own homes.
A Collaborative Approach
We see every project as a partnership. You bring the vision, we bring the know-how, and together we shape something that’s both functional and timeless. Architects, designers, and homeowners trust us because we listen first, then build.
Rooted in Tradition, Designed for Today
Wavecrest draws on the traditions of craftsmen who came before us while embracing modern design tools and techniques. It’s this balance — old-world discipline, new-world capability — that sets our work apart.
Legacy, Not Just Lumber
For us, it’s not about churning out products. It’s about leaving behind a body of work that matters. When a family gathers around a table we built, or when a child grows up in a home shaped by our cabinetry, that’s the real reward.
