A Life driven to find whats around the corner

About Us

Living in a place like Southeast Alaska has been a blessing for me and my family. Being someone who enjoys “outside” hunting, fishing, working, and everything else, I’ve been very lucky to get to experience remote places hiding secret beauty and wonder. When and where, no matter how tired I may be, or how far I’ve gone, I’m always driven to see what’s just a little bit more beyond. Inspired by what nature creates, I try to capture that essence in the things I get to create.

With hunting and fishing also comes the time to cook. Cooking a good, hearty meal for my family and friends is another opportunity to create from what nature shared. Cutting boards really opened up a pathway to take inspirations from Alaska and the world and place them in our kitchen as well as yours. Looking at what was beyond cutting boards furniture building just seemed to draw me in. Making dressers, to tables, to really learning about the process of working with wood. I’ve really enjoyed this journey and hope to share that with you. stonefist wood works was born to do just that.

Thank you for your support and we appreciate you stopping by. We look forward to working with you. -the Payne’s
