Hi, I’m
Evan Burd
Welcome to Good Morning Wood Creations, your premier destination for exquisite hand-crafted furniture and wood decor. Our founder, Evan, has passionately pursued his craft since 2012 when he started building tables as a hobby. In 2023, he took a bold step and established GMWC, embarking on a new career path as a dedicated craftsman after serving as a full-time First Responder.
With a background as a US Air Force veteran and a 16-year law enforcement officer, I appreciate the significance of meticulous attention to detail in my work. Upholding a commitment to excellence was paramount during my time as a police officer, just as it is in the realm of fine woodworking. When you choose GMWC to create a heritage farm-table, a sophisticated conference table, a rustic light fixture, or any other custom wood piece, you can rest assured that corners will never be cut. I’m here not only to address your queries but also to construct the masterpiece you have been seeking.
I take great pride in my hand-crafted heirloom farm tables, some of which are fashioned using repurposed Northeast barn-wood. These exceptional pieces infuse homes in Southwest Florida with a touch of natural history. Despite Naples' reputation as a beach-town, there is a growing inclination among cottage-style houses along the coast to embrace the charm of rustic farm-house style tables.
Furthermore, I have crafted wood and glass display cases, wine racks, bookshelves, and an array of other custom wood pieces. If it can be fashioned from wood, we possess the expertise to bring it to life. At present, GMWC boasts an abundant supply of oak and walnut slabs, which can be transformed into countless furniture pieces.
To aid me in my pursuit of crafting perfection for each client, I rely on an impressive assortment of fine tools. From a CNC machine for personalized art to wide sanders and an extensive collection of hand tools, I possess everything required to transform a neglected piece of wood into a true work of art. Some of the tables I have created boast notches that were carved over a century ago or bear multiple layers of paint from bygone eras. These pieces possess a unique character and are imbued with captivating history. In addition to my signature tables, I have undertaken various projects, including the installation of shiplap, the construction of modern light features, the creation of sliding barn doors, and even furniture restoration for families who treasure their cherished heirlooms.
