Custom Art and Woodworking
Hello
I’m Dan Lee, the founder of Makerwerks. With a professional background in Architecture and Design and over twenty years of hands-on experience in the construction and remodeling industries, I bring a unique perspective to every piece I create. My work sits at the intersection of technical precision and artistic expression, ensuring that every custom commission is as enduring as it is beautiful."
My Story
Every piece of wood has a story, and at Makerwerks, my mission is to help tell it. What started as a passion for the raw, tactile nature of woodworking and the limitless possibilities of custom art has grown into a dedicated studio where craftsmanship meets creativity.
Based in Cottage Grove, MN, I specialize in creating custom art and high-quality woodworking that brings a unique, personal touch to your home or workspace. Whether it's a hand-turned bowl, a custom-built piece of furniture, or a unique artistic installation, I believe that the objects we surround ourselves with should be as functional as they are beautiful.
I focus on the intersection of traditional woodworking techniques and modern artistic expression. My process is collaborative; I work closely with clients to understand their vision and translate it into a tangible piece of art that stands the test of time.

-

Attention to Detail: Every joint, edge, and brushstroke is intentional.

Thank you for visiting. I look forward to the opportunity to create something extraordinary for you.
