Welcome and thank you for visiting us at Woodworking Source Direct. We are grateful to have the opportunity to serve you and help you create projects that are of the highest quality.
Woodworking Source Direct is a family-owned business grounded in honesty and dependable service. My name is Craig, and along with my wife Karen support every level of maker, from hobbyists to master craftsmen.
We spent our previous careers in two very different worlds: I worked in industrial manufacturing quality, and my wife and business partner was a physical therapist. Between my background in precision, tolerances, and quality control, and her career dedicated to taking care of people, we learned what it actually takes to get things right and truly serve someone well. We see these same characteristics in the woodworking community. Eventually, we decided it was time to take those years of experience and build something of our own.
Let’s be completely transparent: we don’t build heavy machinery in our garage. We partner directly with top equipment manufacturers to ship high-ticket shop gear straight from their factory floors to your shop.
Why buy through us? Because dropping thousands of dollars on heavy machinery is nerve-wracking. My background means I hold manufacturers to high standards and know how to talk shop when things go wrong. Her background means our customer service is rooted in empathy, clear communication, and actually caring about your experience.
You can't do business with someone you don't trust. We handle the shipping headaches, track the freight, and hold the factory accountable so you don't have to. Our goal is simple: earn your trust by doing things right the first time. If we make some good friends in the woodworking community along the way, that’s the best part of the job.
We provide you with knowledgeable support, honest guidance, and responsive service throughout your purchase, from the first time you visit our site to the use of your new equipment.
