Jeffrey Spector, Owner

Jeff is originally from Baltimore, MD and came to Texas after high school and never looked back. He is alumni of SMU and UT-Dallas. His first job after college was in manufacturing of wood pallets for shipping at Pallet Logistics of America in Dallas as well as being a lifetime woodworking hobbyist. Jeff caught a 26 lb. salmon to win a fishing contest as a teenager, despite being a city boy his whole life. He has worked for several major distribution companies and continues to consult occasionally. He has family in 6 states and 4 countries and visits as often as he can. Jeff took over the business in 2017, and has grown by leaps and bounds.

“My favorite products have the deep saw marks showing the history of the old sawmills and the way the wood was milled.” – Jeffrey

Our Talented Team

Jose Melo
Jose MeloFabricator
Jose’s love for woodworking started young, learning from his talented grandfather who was a woodworker, painter, and sculptor. Time with his grandparents cultivated skills in drawing and painting, revealing the joy of creating with his own hands. High school brought him to a woodworking shop, honing traditional techniques and fueling his passion.
After graduation, Jose pursued language studies and met his future wife from the United States. Moving there, he continued woodworking while also exploring cooking, gardening, and
digital art as outlets for self-expression. Through his grandfather’s guidance and his own determination, Jose’s lifelong journey embraces craftsmanship and creativity.

Miguel Maldonado
Miguel MaldonadoSales Director
Miguel moved back to Texas in late 2012 after moving back and forth between Wyoming, Colorado, and Austin enough that he had 4 storage units in 3 states when he returned to sling beer and collect dogs and kids. In his spare time he plays sandlot baseball, checks snow reports in places he does not live, collects more guitars than chords he can play, and slaughters shellfish for the family. He also has a piece of paper that says he can paint from SWT/Texas State University, and is a member of The Sierra Club, Protect Our Winters, The Surfrider Foundation, and TexPIRG. He also caught a 27 lb salmon noodling to prove a point.
