Recently I had the privilege to create a custom memory box for a client. It is always a privilege to create custom work, but what made this creation more special was that this memory box is being used to hold the ashes of a departed loved one. I am truly touched that something I made will be the resting place for someone who has passed on. Also this project gave me the opportunity to partner with a wonderful New Orleans glass artist for the inlay in the lid. I hope that opportunities like this one happen again.

![New Beginnings]()
Hello and welcome to Lawson Woodworks. I am very excited for this new beginning in my life where I can help bring others some joy through my furniture and designs. Carpentry is in my blood and many family members before me were masters at this trade, including my father and my grandfather (who is the namesake of Lawson Woodworks).
LW is located in New Orleans. For over 13 years I have been involved with carpentry and wood working, mostly in the set design field for local theater companies. Around 2011, I began to make my own furniture to fit the odd spaces that many of us in NOLA are familiar with in our homes. Occasionally I would make something for a family member or friend. This work has become my passion. And now I am ready to go even further.
Look through the galleries and enjoy! Soon my work will be available at several local art markets. But for now please message me through the Contact section of this site to inquire about ordering your own custom piece or to check in on what is currently available.
Thanks for visiting and come back often!
