The Wood Chip Shack

The Wood Chip Shack The Wood Chip Shack is a small Veteran Owed and Operated wood shop. We make games, puzzles and, Wood signs and wood plaques for all occasions. From the U.S.

A little about me…

I am a retired military veteran. Navy to be exact. After 20 long hard years of riding ocean going sewer pipes, I decided to leave the ocean and find a dryer profession. I started working on robotic delivery and storage systems, and after almost 20 year that I found myself pretty much being replaced by systems I I had been working on... So what to do ... Well, wood working and r

obotics what happens when you put them both together? Well after almost 3 year of making signs plaques and cribbage boards for family and friends someone asked me if I could make something

for them.... They said they would even pay me for it...... So let me think here a bit ..... No Job... Can use the money .... my wife would be happy $$$$ ... of course I'll do it. So here I am. ready to work. What can I make for you. Maybe a sign to highlight your house and welcome others to your home... Maybe a special sign at the entrance of your man cave ...... something that is you and no one else ... I can do this. Maybe a wedding plaque for that special couple marking that important day even more special.... or ... Maybe a birth Plaque marking that most amazing part of your or they're life... I can do this ...

Cribbage is a game I learned and played a lot in the Navy and is actually the first Item I made for a retiring old goat. Just so he could take the game with him... Custom boards are my specialty. OBTW

Mr Grumpy is a title that has followed me from my military career and is still with me today.... Well at least the picture is a good likeness.

Hey Folks it's me again. As hopefully most of you know here at "The Wood Cip Shack" we make what we call "Doodle" books as seen below. In many other styles. The covers of these are made from a bamboo plywood. Why bamboo you ask mainly because it is tough. Well to make a long story short I have lost my supplier of this particular bamboo plywood. He decided to retire. So I am looking for a new supplier of 4' X 8' or (1250mm X 2500mm) X 2.5mm 5 ply bamboo plywood. I live in southern Virginia. If anyone can help me out or knows of someone who carries this size bamboo plywood please let me know🥹
