“I cut big pieces of wood into little pieces, then glue them back into big pieces.”

About
My name is Eric Brokowski, and I am the owner, operator, designer, maker, content curator, and marketer of E.B. Woodcraft (which is exactly why some of these areas aren't even remotely close to perfect).
When I began woodworking as a hobby in 2015, my goal was simply to be able to cut a straight line without leaving a finger on the shop floor. I immediately fell in love with the smell of sawdust and finish, as well as the rush of excitement I get from finishing a project that a friend or friend-to-be will appreciate forever.
Now that I’ve had a bit of practice, my much newer focus with E.B. Woodcraft is to produce premium-quality wood products with a clear focus on the functional and aesthetic value they bring to people’s lives. The pieces that I make are designed to be attractive enough to display in any home or business, and built to be durable enough to withstand everyday use for a lifetime of service. With proper care, all of my pieces should outlast your grandkids.
While woodworking started out as just another hobby to me, I have since cultivated it into a passion that I simply am unable to picture a life without. It brings me limitless joy when I hear from past clients that my work has brought value to their lives.
Where My Personal Time Goes
At this point E.B. Woodcraft is still a side business in addition to my primary job, which is in a family-owned plastic injection molding machine shop. As if these two things together weren't enough to fill my days, I am also a father of two amazing, beautiful children, husband to a stunning business owning supermom, and somewhat of a homesteader on 5 acres of property in rural Eagle Point, Oregon. While the things above occupy the vast majority of my time, when I can squeeze out a few extra minutes I am either reading books of all kinds or making music in my home studio, which I like to think the neighbors enjoy hearing (they haven't said otherwise, anyway).
