Welcome to Very Good Wood. A journey 9 years in the making.
Hey all, Tony here! And welcome to the culmination of a nearly 10 year journey. 9 years ago, my friend Josh introduced me to wood turning innocently enough. Little did I know how addicting of a hobby it would become.
When I lost my job in August of 2025, I decided I didn't want to jump back into the corporate rat race again. I had enough savings to give me some time to build something of my own. The Result? Very Good Wood. An homage to one of my favorite shows, actors and characters; Ronald Ulysses Swanson from Parks and Recreation as played my Nick Offerman and his company, The Very Good Building and Development Company.
So with a name and a lathe, I am setting out to create custom wooden items for all. I am leaning hard on my gaming and mini painting community in addition to creating general decor and art for the general public. And I hope to be doing this for a very long time.
Oh, yeah. And you can watch me make these creations daily live on Twitch! I'm usually live Monday through Friday by 9:00 am CST. come follow along: http://twitch.tv/very_good_wood
Now, lets go make some shavings!
