Founded by Master Craftsman Jeff O'Connor

U.S. Navy EOD (Bomb Squad) Master Chief (Retired) Jeff O'Connor founded O'Connor Woodworking with a passion for hand-tool craftsmanship.

Supporting our veteran and first responder communities is at the heart of everything we do.

Design. Form. Function.

Fusing the old world style of hand tool woodworking and modern design techniques to create heirloom quality, beautifully crafted, functional works of art.

Old World Craftsmanship

Handmade in Virginia to last for generations

Solid Wood, Solid Joinery

Jeff utilizes only the finest Virginia Hardwoods and select exotics in his work. Each board is carefully selected to compliment the design of each piece.

All of Jeff's work is constructed with time honored joints such as handcut dovetails and mortise and tenon, ensuring stability that will last several lifetimes.

Beautifully crafted shave brush! Expertly executed, perfect size and shape so it's comfortable to use. Substantial weight which makes it feel like the high quality item it is. I love the fact that it's a chunk of wood from a tree that grew in Ireland 5,000 odd years ago. The knot is really great quality and holds a ton of water/lathers very well. For comparison, I have a Simpson's Berkeley shave brush and this brush performs better.

Absolutely love my Cocobolo Irish fighting stick! Workmanship is fabulous, woodgrain and finish is gorgeous! Exceptionally well done piece that is super high quality. Jeff is great to work with and transaction was super easy. Couldn't be happier with my 22oz fighting stick!!
