Our Story

Built on Duty, Crafted by Hand

Welcome to Stars, Stripes, & Sawdust, where traditional craftsmanship meets a deep-rooted pride in American heritage.

I’m the maker behind the shop—a retired United States Navy Senior Chief who spent decades serving our country with a focus on precision, discipline, and attention to detail. When I hung up the uniform, I didn't lose the desire to build things that last. I just traded the deckplates for the workshop.

The Craft

Every piece in this shop is built right here in the U.S.A. using time-honored woodworking techniques and a relentless standard of quality. Whether I’m hand-carving custom wooden American flags using a blend of power carving and traditional hand tools, or engineering multi-tier tabletop sports dice games, my goal is the same: to create functional art that you are proud to display in your home or gift to someone special.

We specialize in:

  • Handcrafted Wooden American Flags: Meticulously carved, torched, and finished to highlight the natural grain of the wood.

  • Tabletop Sports Games: Custom-designed, multi-tier dice games for baseball, football, and soccer that bring competition and craftsmanship together.

Why "Stars, Stripes, & Sawdust"?

The name isn't just a clever title; it’s a reflection of who I am. The Stars and Stripes represent the years of service, the pride in our nation, and the patriotic spirit poured into every flag and tribute piece. The Sawdust represents the raw, honest, hands-on labor that goes into every single board, cut, and finish in the shop.

When you buy from Stars, Stripes, & Sawdust, you aren't getting a mass-produced item off a factory line. You’re getting a piece built with integrity, patience, and a standard of excellence earned through a lifetime of service.

Thank you for supporting American handmade craftsmanship and welcoming a piece of my workshop into your home.
