Mike and Mary Jo were amazing to work with and they make the most beautiful things. We had them make a custom tabletop for us and it is gorgeous! We also bought a fabulous sofa table from them too. True artisans making beautiful quality products.

We made a special trip to the Catskills just to visit this shop, and it was absolutely worth it. Mary Jo was incredibly warm and knowledgeable. She walked us through each piece with such depth and passion, sharing the origin and story behind every wood and what makes each one unique. And the purpleheart wood — we had never seen anything like it. The color is just stunning, almost unreal. You could tell these aren't just products; they are the work of a true artisan. We brought home a handmade cutting board, a stone board, and wooden chopsticks. When we reached out afterward, they went above and beyond, even surprising us with a little something extra. We were genuinely touched by their generosity. If you appreciate real craftsmanship and the people behind it, don't miss this place.

Mary Jo and Mike were great to work with! We bought a custom coffee table from them and they worked with my husband and I on the idea. We have always loved their shop and have bought a few cutting boards from them already. All the detail that went into table can be seen throughout the whole piece! The coloring of the walnut and blur just pops! Highly recommend stopping in their shop if you are in the Catskill area! Thank you again guys!!

I ordered a maple cutting board to replace a very old reliable piece purchased in Delaware County years ago. Absolutely beautiful, well made and a fair price, the suggested wood oil sealer did an excellent job. Living in Florida for 14 years now, I'm very happy to have a new bit of The Catskills down here.

We met Mike and MaryJo several months ago. They are wonderful people and we were truly impressed by their beautiful products. We were looking for a table to put behind our couch and went to the shop to pick out the wood slab. The finished product far exceeded our expectations, and the coloring and attention to detail is top notch.

The PERFECT gift! BEAUTIFUL craftsmanship and incredible service. Mike and Mary Jo went above and beyond; their products are truly works of art, and they took great care to ensure that the river charcuterie board we ordered and shipped to out-of-state family was meticulously packaged with a gorgeous gift card included. They made both the givers AND receivers of their exquisite board SO very happy!! And there will be MANY wonderful conversations and delicious moments around a board that represents our region of New York State for years to come....making those experiences ahead extra-special! THANK YOU, Mike and Mary Jo!!! We love your work and will be back!

We've been on a hunt for a local woodwork shop to find really great cutting boards for our new home. Met Mr Mike who made the cutting boards himself and it was a pleasure! You can tell he put a lot of care into these creations. Plus points - the cutting boards we got are really solid.

We went there for the first time yesterday and were very impressed. Their selection and quality of handmade wood products is excellent, and Mike was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was hard to narrow down the choices! We ultimately chose one of their rustic birdhouses and are looking forward to welcoming some new residents! Will definitely shop there again.

I believe in having nice tools and a nice environment for working, whatever that work is. I don’t love cooking but I love my kitchen… and my new, hand-crafted cutting board from Catskill Mtn Woodworking makes it even better.

We purchased a beautiful cutting board - and have already used it a few times! The owner is very talented, and nice to chat with - along with his wife! We saw their stand at the Catskill farmers market, and couldn’t resist.. we visited their store shortly after. Highly recommend!
