Welcome to the workshop

About the shop

Located in the heart of South Knoxville, Byrdnest Workshop is a small one-man operation that prides itself on creating timeless, one of a kind, hand-crafted pieces. Our wood is responsibly harvested, and most is locally sourced, honoring the beauty of East Tennessee and our surroundings. While we do occasionally incorporate exotics in our projects, those too are carefully selected to maintain the integrity of the craft. Each piece is unique, and every grain tells a story of craftsmanship and detail. Because of that, these are heirloom pieces that can be passed down through family and generations.

About Scott

Scott grew up in the mountains of Western North Carolina. He spent many hours with his grandfather, who was a master wood-worker, watching him perfect his craft and create many beautiful pieces. He soaked up as much of that knowledge and experience as he could before he moved to Knoxville over 30 years ago. While woodworking remained mostly a hobby throughout his life, Scott is now sharing those talents with the community, making custom pieces ranging from small kitchen cutting boards to large tables – and everything in between.
