About Me
Whitehead (Artisan) Studios was founded in Moorestown NJ in 1990. Starting off in finish carpentry, and construction. During the spike in 90's lumber prices, and the gross waste of residential timber -we began milling residential trees, and trees felled to develop the Moorestown Industrial Park. Intially the wood was for our own use, but soon we were approached by Homeowners, that regreted having to remove their trees, and wanted us to build a custom project for them. This was such a win win process and built such good relations that we've never looked back. Tree Surgeons could lower their bids using us to handle the big logs and do less work, Homeowners saved ..ping the tree, we had work and lumber and the trees were not being wasted. Further, homeowners were able to have a custom piece of furniture with sentimental value (My children used to swing on that tree, etc...) Rarely does a process have so many equal benefits. In 1992 we were pioneering a whole new approach to forestry. Today we are in N. Virginia, but still provide the same service, and have have expanded our ability to offer , custom molding, millwork, and historical replication/restoration , Kilndrying and more We've done everything from taking condemed structures from the brink of collapse then restoring & or rebuilding them - to making spice chests,jewelry boxes and cooking utensiles. Though our focus is on woodwork, we've made stained glass, built timberframe structures, restored porches on historic buildings, built stair cases, home theaters, furniture etc... All the while building friendships along the way. By offering hard to find services, with a focus on quality, and honesty , flexibilty, plus offering Custom On Site Milling , kiln drying, and millwork we allow our customers the reassurance and convience of one stop shopping. This is why we may start by building a simple chest, and end up building a two story timberframe building for the same person. We earn their trust and respect. Conversely, anyone we work for is given respect in return.
