How It All Began

Cornerstone Woodcraft didn’t begin with a business plan, it began in our home.
What started as a simple hobby grew one project at a time. I (Dino) made small pieces for our kitchen, gifts for family, and anything else that sparked my curiosity. With every project, I learned new skills, picked up new tools, and fell in love with the process of shaping raw wood into something useful and beautiful.

Eventually, our home filled up with cutting boards, charcuterie boards, and handmade pieces we had no room to store. That’s when the idea of “maybe we should share these with others” first took root.

A Team Effort From Day One

When we decided to take the next step, Nicole stepped in naturally — photographing each piece, building the website, and helping bring a sense of beauty and order to everything customers would see. Cornerstone Woodcraft quickly became something we worked on together, combining my love for the craft with her eye for design and storytelling.

Products With a Story

Almost every product we offer began as a custom request from someone with a specific need, a meaningful gift to give, or a unique space in their home to fill.

Because of that, many of our staple products weren’t invented in a meeting or sketched for mass production. They were created for real people, real homes, and real moments. Each piece has a story behind it, and we’re honored that those stories now shape the collection we offer today.

Guided, Not Planned

We didn’t set out to build a business… but God clearly had a plan.
With every new project and every new opportunity, we simply followed the path we felt He was placing in front of us. The name Cornerstone reflects exactly that: Jesus Christ is the Cornerstone of our lives, our home, and this business. We believe He has been the true owner since day one.

Our role is to work faithfully with the skills and resources He’s given us — to create products with excellence, serve customers with honesty, and trust Him with whatever comes next.

Our Purpose

We want every board, every gift, and every piece we create to reflect:

• Quality — made to last, handed down, and used daily
• Meaning — pieces that help people celebrate, gather, and give
• Stewardship — using our skills for something bigger than ourselves
• Ministry — sharing the love of Christ through our work, our words, and our generosity

More than making products, we hope to make moments — meals shared, gifts given, and families gathering.

Where We’re Headed

We don’t pretend to know the full story God is writing for Cornerstone Woodcraft.
But we know this: we’re committed to following Him diligently, doing our work with excellence, and being faithful with every order, every customer, and every opportunity He brings our way.

And we’re grateful — deeply grateful — to be exactly where we are today.
