The Medina Workshop | Where Craftsmanship Meets Natural Beauty
We specialize in every type of wood surface for the home and office. If it’s wood and it’s a surface, we build it BETTER.
Custom Butcher Block Countertops
Handcrafted edge-grain surfaces built for daily life. We use solid, sustainably sourced hardwoods and industrial-strength joinery to create butcher block counters that bring warmth and character to any kitchen layout.
End-grain “chopping block” islands
The ultimate kitchen centerpiece. From professional-grade end-grain “chopping blocks” to oversized walnut slabs with seating overhangs, we build islands that stone simply can’t match.
We design modern islands that become the heart of the Ohio kitchen.
End-Grain Chopping Blocks
The “professional” choice. These are built with the wood fibers facing up, making them self-healing and incredibly durable for daily knife work.
Edge-Grain Counters
The most stable and popular choice for large islands, showing off the long, elegant grain of the wood.
Waterfall & XL Islands
We specialize in oversized builds that require seamless on-site joining and vertical grain transitions that “drop” to the floor.
Live Edge Bars & Countertops
Raw, organic, and one-of-a-kind. We preserve the natural edge of the tree to create showpiece surfaces for vanities, coffee bars, and accents that bring the outdoors in.
Wood Slabs & Countertops
Raw, organic, and one-of-a-kind. We preserve the natural edge of the tree to create showpiece surfaces for vanities, coffee bars, and accents that bring the outdoors in.
Epoxy Resin “River” Surfaces
Live Edge Wood Meets Epoxy
Where nature meets modern art. We fuse live-edge wood slabs with custom-colored epoxy resins to create unique “river” tables and bar tops that serve as functional conversation pieces.
Custom Floating Shelves
Solid hardwood shelving—not hollow veneers. Our 2-inch thick shelves are built to handle the weight of real life while adding a clean, modern aesthetic to your
Live Edge Wood Mantels
Make your fireplace a focal point. We hand-select massive timber slabs to create architectural mantels that anchor your room with the timeless strength of solid Oak or Walnut.
Custom Artisan Barn Doors
Solid Timber Construction
Built for the long haul. Unlike mass-produced doors that warp over time, our barn doors are engineered from kiln-dried hardwoods and premium reclaimed timbers. We use traditional joinery and internal structural bracing to ensure your door stays perfectly square, year after year.
Signature Door Styles & Finishes
Modern Industrial Slats:
Clean, vertical lines using Black Walnut or Rift-Sawn Oak.
The Artisan “X” & Herringbone:
Classic farmhouse charm with a master-craftsman finish.
Live-Edge “Bookmatched” Doors:
The ultimate showpiece. We use two consecutive slabs from the same tree to create a “mirror” effect, preserving the raw organic edge.
