About

I'm Ronald Lohse, and I’ve always loved woodworking. After a long career as a computer programmer, including 18 years as one of the original developers at Kayak.com, I decided to follow my passion for making furniture.

I started woodworking as a hobby, making things for my home and slowly building up my collection of tools. In 2021, I got into making tables of all kinds. I did a part-time internship at Lighthouse Woodworks in Boston to improve my skills, learn new techniques and identify some critical new tools I needed.

Things really took off after I made a dining table for a friend and started getting more requests. I found myself working on tables during nights and weekends, while also managing social media and building my own website.

It wasn’t until a vacation in the Caribbean with my wife, Anne, that I decided to retire from computers and start my own table-making business. Anne’s support has been amazing, and I’m so thankful for all the wonderful clients I’ve met since making the leap.
