Hi and welcome!
Thank you for joining us here. We are a small family business located in North Pole Alaska right about 23 miles southeast of Fairbanks. I’ve been a resident in Alaska for right around 30 years and I have been proud to call this my home and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I have been blessed with a great family and two fantastic kids.
Why I ended up doing what I do?
My passion has been that of building and designing most anything I could get my hands on as a hobby. For as long as I can remember, one of my most favorite building materials has been wood. I love the way it smells when cut and the beautiful things it can be created into when shaped and formed. All of the things to this point have been on the hobby level. To experiment more with what I can do with wood, we decided to add a CNC machine to the mix allowing me to create on a whole new level. I had the opportunity to create special gifts for friends and family. Those gifts went over quite well and before I knew it, I was getting a flood of specific requests from people that have seen projects and asked “Where did you get that, I want one”, and the rest was history.
My son Dawson and myself decided to sell some of our wood projects and special requests to help pay for a Europe trip that he ended up taking during his senior year in high school in 2017. With that decision, North Pole CNC was born!
Our goal is to create the best wood plaques for a realistic price and to produce a product that you are proud to display or give as a gift. No quick stamped out projects for us. We’ve looked at other award shops in the local area and made the decision that we can do better, much better. We don’t and never will have our plaques imported from other states and in some cases other countries. Our plaques and projects are always made locally here in North Pole and treated with specific loving care that each project requires. We do now include projects from other great woodworkers and hobbyists around the United States because we want you to have the finest products and selection. We just won’t send a project out the door that we wouldn’t be proud of hanging on our wall or displaying in our house. The loving way we create each project shows every time we complete one and the products that we have available from other woodworkers and hobbyists we have found to be of the highest quality and we are sure you’ll like them also!
Your satisfaction is a high priority to us and it shows with all of our projects so we encourage your input on what you would like to see. Consultations with us are free and always will be. If you have an idea for a wood project you would like, please feel free to contact us and we can see what we can do by making your idea come to life.
Make sure you check back with us often as we grow in the coming years. We’ll post projects as we make them and post them on this page as well as our Facebook page and now online with Etsy as well!
With that being said, thanks again for joining us and if you have any questions or would like to purchase a pre-made item from us, please feel free to visit our new online store with Etsy.
Thanks again from our family to yours!
