JBENSE WOODWORKS

I am a retired but active academic and public archaeologist and executive administrator at the University of West Florida, now enjoying the opportunity to expand my woodworking. What began as a personal craft has grown into something I can share with others through this catalog and a soon-to-be-launched website.

I work as a one-person shop, starting with rough-cut lumber sourced locally and shaping each piece using traditional woodworking tools such as a table saw, planer, handsaw, and sanders. I do not use computer-driven machines or lasers—every item is made by hand, from start to finish, by me.
