Our Story
About Little Forest Studio
Welcome to Little Forest Studio
A small workshop with big roots.
I’m Ed, the craftsman behind everything you see here. I design and build handcrafted home and garden furniture and décor that blends natural wood and hand-forged metal in a mix of rustic, modern, farmhouse, and industrial styles. Each piece is made by hand in New Jersey with care, character, and a whole lot of history behind it.
A Tradition of Craftsmanship
My woodworking journey began when I was just seven years old. My grandfather, a skilled woodworker himself, would bring me down to his shop and teach me the basics—how to use a saw, swing a hammer, and piece together birdhouses for the backyard.
That early spark lit a lifelong passion for creating with my hands. Today, Little Forest Studio is my way of continuing that legacy: combining traditional tools and techniques with modern design to create pieces that are both useful and meaningful.
What You’ll Find Here
Custom designed furniture built by hand and made to last.
Functional and decorative home and garden pieces
Wall shelves, trays, hooks, and more
Designs that highlight the natural beauty of both local and exotic hardwoods
Hand-forged metal accents that add strength and style
A blend of rustic, modern, farmhouse, and industrial design
Each item is made one at a time using carefully selected materials—including over 23 exotic woods like walnut, Sapele, and padauk—to bring warmth, richness, and personality into your space. If you have a type of wood in mind for your project, just ask. I also work with many different fabrics and fibers. If you have something in mind I can most likely include it in your next project we design together.
Custom Work Welcome
See something you like but need a different size, wood type, finish or color? I gladly accept custom requests. Whether you’re looking for a specific piece to match your décor or want something truly unique, I’d love to work with you to bring it to life.
