Friends asked for one. Then their friends. Then strangers on the internet. By 2005, BLOCKSetc was born — one of the earliest shops on Etsy, long before "handmade" was a trend.
Twenty years later, the workshop has grown, but the philosophy hasn't changed. Every piece is still made to order. Still hand-finished. Still crafted from the same Michigan hard maple I fell in love with from the start.
I've engraved thousands of names, dates, and stories. Baby blocks for first-borns. Ornaments for first Christmases. Memorial keepsakes for the ones we've lost. Each one matters.
This isn't a factory. It's a homestead workshop where every gift is treated like it's for my own family.
