Who we are

Welcome to Henry Hardwood, a small, veteran-owned woodworking business where craftsmanship meets passion. My name is CJ Henry, and I’m proud to create custom, handmade wooden pieces that bring both beauty and function to your home.

For over 20 years, I worked in the IT sector, and before that, I served six years in the United States Air Force. While I cherish those experiences, I often found myself longing for a creative outlet—something tangible that I could craft with my own two hands. That’s when I discovered woodworking.

What started as a way to destress quickly became a lifelong passion. My first project was a picnic table my wife requested for Christmas, and from the moment I saw her joy, I knew I’d found something special. Over time, I continued to hone my skills, transitioning from a hobbyist to a full-time craftsman and launching Henry Hardwood.

Today, I specialize in crafting unique items like shelves, wooden crosses, wind chime stands, and custom furniture. Each piece is made with care and precision, ensuring it’s not only functional but also a reflection of your style.

At Henry Hardwood, every piece tells a story—yours and mine. My mission is to create meaningful, timeless pieces that you’ll cherish for years to come. Whether it’s a custom order or one of my signature designs, you can count on quality, craftsmanship, and a touch of heart in everything I make.

When I’m not in the workshop, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two boys, camping, and watching football. I’m always drawing inspiration from the world around me, observing other pieces and the techniques used to create them. Thank you for supporting my journey and considering Henry Hardwood for your woodworking needs.

Feel free to reach out for custom orders or to learn more about my work. I look forward to bringing your vision to life!
