Jeff Cairnes | Owner

Since 1987, my hands have been shaped by wood. What began as a high school woodworking class in my sophomore year has grown into a lifelong passion for crafting with wood. I’ve been a part of extensive remodeling projects, from building homes and barns—including my own—to creating one-of-a-kind custom furniture.

While I spent many years in different careers, my love for woodworking never faded. Even during my time at AT&T, I was always drawn back to my workshop. In 2019, I had the opportunity to turn my lifelong hobby into a dedicated craft, building custom wood furniture for a high-end furniture store and a local reclaimed wood supplier.

Today, Legacy Woodcraft is the culmination of decades of experience and a deep respect for the art of woodworking. Every piece is built with a commitment to quality and a passion that has been with me for nearly 40 years.
