Founder and Head Carpenter Matt Swanson began selling colorful hardwood cutting boards and barware at farmers markets more than a decade ago, driven by a love of wood, design, and community. Those boards turned out to be big, heavy business cards. The "OG" customers who bought them soon started asking for wood pieces for their homes, and a custom woodworking business grew alongside the retail line.
Today, BirchBarn Designs builds with the best hardwood we can source. From countertops and butcher block island tops to dining tables and other custom pieces, we make wood elements for homes and businesses alike. Our retail line of end grain and edge grain cutting boards are sold here on our online marketplace as well as in our store in Scituate, Ma.
It all began with a cutting board and a desire to make cool stuff out of wood. As the boards gained popularity around the farmers market circuit, BirchBarn went from 300 sq. ft inside their garage to 3000 sq. ft of workshop + retail in a burdgeoning artisan enclave in Scituate's Greenbush neighborhood.
From cutting boards to bold wood designs for the home, BirchBarn is committed to constructing and designing products that celebrate the natural palette of wood and the longevity of lumber.
