Named for my two dogs, Leopard Dog Woodcraft is a one-person shop focused on making meaningful everyday wooden pieces

The woodworker's two dogs are shown. They are Catahoula Leopard Dog Mixes.

Turned by Hand

Handmade in California

Three handcrafted wood bowls made in California

Through Leopard Dog Woodcraft I create handcrafted wooden bowls, twig pots, and other decorative home goods. Each piece is made on my lathe using carefully selected hardwoods, emphasizing natural grain, form, and function. These handmade wooden pieces are designed to be used, gifted, and enjoyed.

“Since Every piece is handcrafted, every piece is Unique”

About the Maker

I’m Ashley, the woodworker behind Leopard Dog Woodcraft, working from my home shop in the Sierra Nevada foothills. I started woodturning at a young age and have continued developing my skills through years of practice and formal training. Today, I create functional pieces intended for everyday home use. When I’m not in the shop, I’m usually out exploring the foothills with my two dogs.
