about us

Poppy Woodworking is a provider of high-end furniture, homeware and other wooden delights. We focus on blending elegance with functionality, and use traditional, time-tested woodworking techniques to ensure that our pieces last a lifetime (and beyond).

We primarily use domestic lumber, and strive to source wood as locally as possible, from suppliers committed to sustainable forestry practices.

Poppy Woodworking is run out of Oakland, California by Owen Churchill, who has loved working with wood and hand tools as long as he can remember. The chances are high that the wood in your item was worked by a 100+ year old tool he has collected and restored, including some from his grandparents.

Our name is a nod to California’s state flower, but more importantly it’s a combination of Owen’s two cats, Papi and Pom!
