Sandy’s Artisan Woodworking

A place to find truly unique and locally made gifts. I'm a garage shop hobbyist that enjoys making. See the Photos section for items and prices

I focus on pizza cutters, ice cream scoops, bottle stoppers, wine stoppers, corkscrews, and charcuterie boards.

Keeping with the Halloween theme, I got more items in this popular Halloween color. Plus. A little 3d printing in the mix as well. Check it out. Shoot me any questions if something catches your eye.

Smores sticks - 20 each.
These extend out to nearly 3 feet...great for kids and adults alike)

Bottle stoppers -15 each.
I make one shaped like a witches hat, but many other fun options as well.

Bottle openers - 28 each

Pizza cutters - 50 each
Handles unscrew and the metal part can easily get thrown in the dishwasher

I Scream Scoops (see what I did there 😉) - 40 each

Cheese slicers - 35 each
These handy boards are roughly 6"×8" with a wire that easily cuts through blocks of cheese. Why pay for overly expensive, pre sliced cheese trays with limited cheese options when you can get a brick of your favorite cheese instead.

Pistachio bowls (make in orange, lime, black, and purple) - 16 each
These might be my new favorite and our family is obsessed. They get used CONSTANTLY. Pistachios / peanuts go in the removeable upper bowl. The shells go in the hole in the middle and are collected in the larger bowl underneath. Makes it super easy to clean, keeps from dealing with multiple bowls, avoids annoying spills, and has a really nice design element. Colors can easily mixed and matched.

Pumpkin Carving Set - 35 for the set.

This set is INCREDIBLE! Stop buying those terrible, one time use garbage kits that are hard to use, break apart in your hand while using them, and just put more plastic into landfills every year. These have no sharp edges, so no need to worry about getting cut. The spoon is great for scooping out pumpkin guts, the ridged blade is used for carving, and the triangular wedge tool is great for punching out eyes, teeth, or whatever imaginative ideas your kids and you come up with.

Note that I only have a small number of sets....so once they're gone, they're gone. Also comes with a handy little tray in various fun Halloween style colors.

Last Minute Stocking Stuffers!

So clearly not woodworking, but my son and I have had some fun 3d printing these golf ball holders. So if you know a golfer who has a sense of humor, shoot me a message. These are just examples and aim happy work on any custom ideas you might have

I can do a range of colors (up to 2). PLUS, you can include a person's name or a few words...or choose from something I've come up with.

Comes with a carabiner that easily clips on a golfer bag or somewhere in a golf cart or push cart. And while golf balls are NOT included, this gift goes nicely with a sleeve or box of balls.

Price: 7 each. Golf balls are NOT included.

PM me with any questions or orders.

Happy Holidays!!!

(Few things, colors may be limited, sorry if this offends but funny's funny, there's only so much space for words so things need to he concise, of things get crazy and Christmas deadlines can't be met I'll let you know).

Pepper / Salt Grinders

I was asked to make some pepper grinders as Christmas gifts. They turned out pretty amazing in my humble opinion. I have a handful of the grinding mechanisms left. So if anyone is interested in a pepper / salt grinder, feel free to reach out.

Price: 50 each

So the Bears lost today to the Packers. There's always 2 weeks from now. And the Browns are next. So if you need some accessories for your next tailgates, look no further.

Bear Down!!!

(And yes....sigh...I can make these in Packers colors too).

Bourbon Bottle Stoppers

Got a wh***ey / bourbon / scotch connoisseur to shop for? Then this may be the perfect gift.

Made of stainless steel with nitrile o-rings, there is no doubt that these are luxury items for people that enjoy displaying their adult beverage collection.

With a little twist as you’re pushing it in the bottle, it creates a beautiful friction fit to ensure an air tight seal.

So whether your need a little something extra to go with that bottle , or you don't know anything about spirits but still want to provide a thoughtful gift, this is an amazing option. And don't forget about any possible holiday parties you may be attending. These make a really nice little host gift that will certainly get people's attention. Or just maybe, you want to treat yourself. You deserve something nice too. 😉

Feel free to message me with any questions or custom requests.

Christmas 2025 Pricing: 22 each

Note: The picture shows some examples. Availability may vary as items sell or I make more.
