Crafted with purpose, inspired by nature
Welcome to TheShop-StudioWoodworking, where natural materials transform into functional art. Discover our story, our passion, and the unique items we create, all with a commitment to quality and natural beauty.

Our journey
TheShop-StudioWoodworking is the work of Thacker McKay and Sara Davidson Higgins. From our studios in Arden, DE, and Nederland, CO, we specialize in studio woodworking at its finest, crafting one-off pieces, beautiful reproductions, and classic modern furniture that tell a story of dedication and skill.

Functional art for your everyday
At our Shop, we believe in creating functional art. Our pieces, ranging from home goods to personal accessories, are designed to enhance your daily life with beauty and utility. As a small design and fabrication firm, our goal is variety, ensuring that each item is unique and crafted with meticulous attention to detail.

The soul of the wood speaks
A minimalist approach is at the core of everything we do. We don't embellish, paint, or stain our work; we let the inherent emotion of the material speak for itself. This philosophy allows the natural character of each piece to assert itself, creating timeless works that are authentic and truly one-of-a-kind.
