Woodwork

Unique hand crafted woodwork pieces

Woodwork
Deep in our old growth Oregon forest, our small mom-and-pop workshop creates artisan woodwork of the highest caliber—each piece milled, shaped, and finished by highly skilled woodworkers who understand both the art and science of wood. At Chehalem Green we use only deadwood, sustainably harvested and revived into functional art. Every item in our Woodwork collection embodies our commitment to 100% sustainable, eco-friendly craftsmanship, and each piece is unique and one-of-a-kind by nature.

Our process begins onsite, where logs are milled and kiln-dried to exact specifications to ensure structural stability, longevity, and optimal finishing potential. From there, every board, slab, and live-edge cut is carefully examined for character, figure, and natural features. When we find voids or knots worthy of highlighting, we fill them with crystal-clear or tinted resin, creating striking resin-filled voids that enhance the natural beauty of the cedar, maple, and other hardwoods we work with.

At Chehelam Green we are proud to offer a growing collection of natural wood products, including solid wood clocks, cedar clocks, and handcrafted bird houses built from the same premium-grade materials we use in custom furniture pieces. Whether you’re searching for a showpiece for your home or office or looking for a meaningful handcrafted gift, our Woodwork category showcases items created with high-end, luxury-grade workmanship—the kind of heirloom quality you can feel the moment it arrives.

Solid Wood Clocks & Cedar Clocks
Our solid wood clocks and cedar clocks bring the warmth of nature indoors with timeless simplicity and refined detail. Each clock is carved and shaped from a single slab of sustainably sourced hardwood, ensuring seamless grain continuity and visual harmony. No two clocks are ever alike; the organic patterns within the wood create a natural artwork that cannot be replicated. Many of our clocks feature live edge profiles that accentuate the wood’s original contours, preserving the authentic story of the tree from which it came.

We finish each clock by hand using our proprietary blend of food-grade wax and oil finishes, allowing the natural grain to breathe while providing an eco-friendly, durable seal. These finishes are completely non-toxic and sustainably sourced, aligning with our core values of environmental stewardship. The result is an elegant, luxurious, and functional timepiece with the presence of fine art.

When your clock is complete, it ships directly from our forest to your home or office, with no middlemen, mass-production facilities, or automated processes in between—just the work of passionate artisans preserving traditional woodworking craftsmanship.

Bird Houses & Cedar Bird Houses
Our bird houses blend architectural charm with precise woodworking techniques, offering birds a safe, weather-resistant, and beautiful home. Using rot-resistant Western red cedar, each cedar bird house is constructed with long-lasting joinery and ventilation that prioritizes the health of nesting birds. Because all lumber is milled onsite from naturally fallen or standing-dead trees, every bird house is both eco-friendly and sustainable.

As with every product we make, no two bird houses are identical. Grain variation, natural checking, subtle resin pockets, and the inherent color changes in cedar create a visually stunning effect that sets our bird houses apart from mass-produced alternatives. These pieces are crafted not only to elevate your outdoor spaces but also to contribute directly to local ecosystems.

Custom Bespoke Woodwork
In addition to the items currently available, we proudly offer custom bespoke woodwork for any product you can imagine. Whether you need a large live-edge installation, a one-of-a-kind cedar timepiece, or an artistic piece featuring dramatic resin-filled voids, our workshop can bring your vision to life. We combine technical precision with exquisite craftsmanship, giving every custom order the same attention to detail as our in-stock pieces.
