I don't just make utensils. I reveal the beauty hidden within the wood.

My fascination with wood began early, sparked by the elegant simplicity of natural materials and the transformative power of skilled hands. I remember the scent of freshly cut timber, the distinct textures under my fingertips, and the inherent story each grain pattern held. This deep-seated appreciation eventually led me to the art of woodturning.

For years, I honed my craft, delving into the traditional techniques of woodturning, understanding the nuances of different wood species, and learning to listen to what each piece of timber wanted to become. My passion soon crystallized into a clear purpose: to create functional art for the heart of the home – the kitchen. I believe that everyday objects should not only serve their purpose flawlessly but also bring joy and beauty to our routines, deepening our connection to the natural world.

"Every piece of wood holds a natural song, waiting for the right hands to coax it into melody."

PHYLLIS J DESSOYE, based right here in Port Orange, Florida, is more than just a workshop; it's the realization of this dream. I am committed to sourcing sustainable wood, often from local, reclaimed sources, transforming it into heirloom-quality kitchenware. Each cherry wood utensil, walnut serving board, and lathe-turned bowl is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and a dedication to timeless design. This isn't just about selling products; it's about fostering an appreciation for the tangible beauty of hand-turned wood and building lasting connections with individuals who value sustainability and authentic quality.

The joy of the process, from selecting the perfect block of wood to seeing a finished piece bring warmth and character into someone's kitchen, is what truly drives me. It’s a privilege to connect with customers who share my appreciation for the unique charm and enduring quality of handcrafted items.
