About Us

Susan is the creator, builder, and owner of Cooleywood. She is a retired Program Manager, Navy (Ret) spouse, and proud Navy Mom. She, her husband, Stephen, and dog, Sage, live in the Pacific Northwest. She is a yoga teacher, loves hiking and running, and has various other hobbies like crocheting, sewing, and gardening. 

Susan and Stephen started woodworking to build a custom coffee table. From there, it escalated into serving boards, noodle boards, napkin holders, and bandsaw boxes. Susan’s newest acquisition is a Laguna lathe, where she is turning pens, pencils, letter openers, and bowls.

Susan's favorite thing to do is build a custom wood product. A customer has a vision, and we can turn it into a reality. See Custom Pages for some of the end results.
