Our Story

Some of the most meaningful things in the world start small—a garage, a late night, a single piece of wood, and a vision.

The Newport Grain began exactly like that.

I’m a college student who fell in love with woodworking not because someone handed me a blueprint, but because I picked up a tool and felt something click. What began as a hobby quickly became an obsession: a pursuit of craftsmanship that turned my free time into a sense of purpose.

Since then, The Newport Grain has grown into more than woodworking. It is a collection of handcrafted cutting boards, surf-inspired artwork, and carefully selected secondhand pieces restored and reimagined for a new life. Some creations begin with premium hardwood. Others begin as overlooked furniture, decor, or luxury items with quality and character worth preserving. Each one is transformed through thoughtful design, patient craftsmanship, and the coastal spirit that inspires the brand.

This isn’t a factory. There’s no assembly line, no mass production, and no interest in making things that feel disposable.

Every handcrafted board is shaped, sanded, finished, and inspected by me. I work with hardwoods chosen for their beauty, durability, and natural character because I believe the pieces in your home should be as thoughtful as the moments you create around them. No two grains, shapes, restorations, or works of art are exactly alike—and that’s the point.

The Newport Grain was born from a lifestyle as much as a craft.

Rooted in Newport’s coastal energy, the brand draws inspiration from surf culture, ocean living, fresh food, good company, and an appreciation for the finer simple things in life. That inspiration can be found in the shape of a surfboard cutting board, the movement of a wave captured in a piece of artwork, or the renewed character of a secondhand item that might otherwise have been forgotten.

Whether you’re preparing fresh food after a morning at the beach, building a charcuterie spread for friends, adding surf-inspired artwork to your walls, or bringing home a refurbished statement piece, The Newport Grain creates objects meant to become part of your lifestyle—not just take up space in it.

Restoration is an important part of that mission. I believe well-made things deserve another chapter. By finding secondhand and luxury pieces with lasting potential, then repairing, refinishing, or artistically reimagining them, I’m able to preserve their character while creating something distinctive for a new owner. It’s a more thoughtful approach to luxury—one built around individuality, craftsmanship, and giving exceptional objects a second life.

Woodworking and restoration have humbled me in the best way. They’ve taught me patience, precision, creativity, and respect for every material and object that enters the workshop. I’m constantly growing in this craft, and every piece I create today carries everything I learned from the one before it.

Nothing leaves my hands until it meets my standards. If it isn’t something I would be proud to place in my own home, it doesn’t ship. It’s that simple.

When you purchase from The Newport Grain, you aren’t buying something pulled from an assembly line. You’re choosing a one-of-a-kind piece created or restored with intention—and supporting a young craftsman who takes your trust seriously.

Thank you for caring about quality, originality, sustainability, and the story behind what you bring into your home. I don’t take that lightly—and I never will.
