Delivering High-Quality Woodwork

My name is Jeff Smith (AKA Dr. Sawdust). I have been a hobby woodworker most of my adult life. Six years ago, I decided to make my hobby into a business which I called Doctor Sawdust Workshop, LLC. I love working on the business every day.

I’ve been working with lots of different wood species and item types! From tables to candle holders, jewelry and music boxes to wine racks, and even custom molding. There’s nothing I can’t make with a beautiful piece of wood. I’m also a member of the Architectural Woodworking Institute, which helps me keep up to date on what’s new in woodworking! I also attend woodworking shows and seminars whenever I can. I can always learn something new.

I focus on quality, service, and dependability, and I’ve been able to create woodwork projects for people all over the Northern Virginia and Washington DC markets since 2005.

I work hand in hand with customers to design the piece they are looking for…

Testimonials

The quality of his woodwork is exceptional

Mr. Jeff (Woodworker) installed an window sill extension to all of my small window sills at my beautiful ranch style home. So now it serves as the perfect sill extender and much more. So now, I can perch next to a chair to replace the purpose a coffee table serves, provides extra room for my planters, a space to store my current read and/or remote.
Jeff said it will enable me to make more out of the smallest ledges. Scooting a bench or shelf in front of a window. Mr. Jeff, just to let you know how happy we have been with your professional attitude. You came into our home to remodel our window sill project with such professionalism.
To all viewers, Mr. Jeff was courteous and very prompt when we needed him. We are very thankful in his excellent craftsmanship and handling of our project. It is my pleasure to recommend Mr. Jeff as an excellent craftsman. The quality of his woodwork is exceptional. The sill is like a high grade window sill ledge you see at a décor Model homes and shows attention to detail and skill of execution rarely found.

I am extremely pleased with the result

Sometimes in life you make a quick decision that ends up being spectacular. Several months ago on a networking event hosted by my Alma Mater, RIT, I had the privilege of meeting Jeff Smith. When Jeff mentioned that he is a custom woodworker without missing a beat I asked if he could help me with a project for my business. Not only did Jeff follow up with me right away, he diligently followed up with me to ensure that the box we decided he would develop was exactly what my premier clients would like. The box is both BEAUTIFUL and well made. Jeff has turned out to be a great partner in business and friend. The wood box that he hand delivered to me is made from six types of material so that I can use it as a sample when I show clients different options. The inside of the box is as beautiful as the outside. He even had my business logo beautifully engraved inside. I can’t say enough about his service. I am extremely pleased with the result. As well as being very skilled in his trade, he is punctual, reliable, clean, and tidy and a true gentleman. Can’t wait to start sending him customized orders from my clients.
