I'll never forget the first time I stood out in the ferns. I might have been five years old. The smell, the density of it, the feeling of being inside something alive. Something lit up in me that day that never went out.
I've spent my life in construction. I've filled a lot of dumpsters with wood that had no business being thrown away. I've watched companies tear through a pristine natural site and leave nothing worth keeping. That bothered me every time. Black Diamond Timber & Joinery Co. is a bespoke woodworking studio rooted in the Pocono Mountains, where the material is taken seriously, worked by hand, and made into something worth hanging onto.
Hi, I’m Andy!
Every project starts with a conversation. You tell me what you're after, the space, the feeling, the way you want it to live in your home. From there I figure out the wood, the joinery, the build. Nothing comes off a template. Every commission is its own thing and I treat it that way.
My Approach
Simple ideas
The best pieces usually start with a simple idea. A table for the back porch. A cross for the wall. A chair that fits the view. We take that idea seriously and build it into something that surprises you.
Lasting impact
Wood remembers everything. The way it was worked, the hands that touched it, the home it lived in. We build with that in mind. What leaves this shop is meant to be in your family for a long time.
