Kent Young

After 35 fulfilling years as a mechanical and process engineer, I decided it was time to pursue a more artistic endeavour. I have always admired those who can craft beautiful wooden pieces but never found the time to explore this passion myself.

My years spent overseas have provided me with a unique opportunity to appreciate the artistry of craftsmen from around the globe. These experiences, combined with my respect for skilled artisans, inspired me to establish Pops Sawdust Shack. The name “Pop” comes from my grandchildren, and I hope you find something here that inspires you as much as this journey inspires me. If you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for, I welcome commissions to help bring your ideas to life!

At Pops Sawdust Shack, we are committed to three core values: quality, transparency, and customer dedication. Each product is handcrafted using ethically sourced materials, ensuring that you receive not only a beautiful piece but also one that reflects our commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship.

While my product line is currently somewhat limited, my focus through 2025 is to create small vanity trays, serving trays, and charcuterie boards, along with the occasional stunning tabletop. My inventory will change frequently, so be sure to check back often!

If you see something that piques your interest but isn’t quite what you had in mind, please feel free to contact me with your thoughts. I am more than happy to discuss how we can turn your ideas into reality.

Thank you for visiting Pops Sawdust Shack! I look forward to sharing my passion for woodworking with you and hope to inspire your own creative journey.
