About Fritz & Whaley
We're a team of creative thinkers and doers, dedicated to building with purpose and clarity. Collaboration and curiosity are the hallmarks of many of our unique pieces. We work with integrity, build our pieces to perfection and to last, and we love the challenge of going from a tree in a forest to a beautiful piece of keepsake furniture. We are third generation woodworkers, skilled in our trade, and carry 60+ years of technique and tradition with us. What can we help you build?
Driven by passion
Our journey has been anything but ordinary. Fritz & Whaley started 45 years ago as a ‘someday’ dream. From getting the woodworking bug in 9th grade shop class, to the desire to carry on the family legacy, (a grandfather and uncle were both professional woodworkers), to apprenticing with an old world Italian Master Wood Butcher, as he liked to be referred to as, to having a half dozen different woodshop locations and many years of tool acquisitions, purchases, and upgrades, Fritz and Whaley have a very well rounded background as artisan creators.
This isn’t just a business—it’s a reflection of what we believe in, a lifetime of lessons, and a sincere desire to produce top notch, high quality, and beautiful wooden creations. We’re here to create work that matters, led by a shared commitment to quality, craftsmanship, honesty, and integrity.
