Nestled at the foot of the Delaware Water Gap, Northampton Woodworking makes furniture. 

By "furniture," we mean furniture as it ought to be, not furniture as too often it is: the flimsy, utilitarian items that fill our homes for only a short time before they fill the landfill. For, put simply, our world is full of junk. Imported and mass-produced from cheap, artificial materials, and designed for the latest trend, it peels and breaks after only a few years of use or is discarded in favor of the next fad.

We believe that furniture should be more: it should not only be functional but also a work of art, making life more beautiful just in the using of it. It should be made of natural wood, each piece unique in its grain and color just as the tree it is made from varies from the other trees in the forest. It should be made to last, gaining meaning to us over the years as we use it, pass it down, use it some more and associate it ever more richly with our memories of home and of each other.

In our workshop based in eastern Pennsylvania, we craft each piece of furniture from start to finish. Owners Mark and Aspen Smith teamed up with Master Craftsman Steve Wenzel in 2021 to create Northampton Woodworking. We personally design each piece and craft it painstakingly, holding it to the highest standard of perfection in every detail. (Learn more about our methods in the Our Process page).

We use each piece of furniture in our own homes before marketing it to anyone else, and we can truly say that our furniture is a constant source of delight to us. We're grateful to belong to a family-owned and operated business, and for this opportunity to share the well-made, beautiful furniture we love with you.
