Here's ours

Laurel & Stone Woodcraft is the work of Craig and Lorinda—Mims and Popper, if you ask their grandchildren. Together, they bring two very different kinds of creativity to every piece they make: Craig brings a lifetime of working with wood, while Lorinda brings an artist’s eye for detail, finish, and possibility.

Craig has been working with wood for as long as he can remember. After four decades of building homes, he moved into land development, where he began salvaging and collecting beautiful pieces of timber that might otherwise have been discarded. What began as a habit of saving good wood became a passion for giving it a second life—turning raw, time-worn timber into pieces meant to be used, enjoyed, and handed down.

Lorinda is, in every sense, a Jane of all trades. Give her a piece of artwork and she'll find a way to recreate it; give her a new medium and she'll make it look like she's been working with it for years. A lifelong musician and artist, she brings that same creative instinct to the finishing touches of every Laurel & Stone piece.

Craig sees the big picture. Lorinda brings it to life. He shapes the wood and builds the foundation; she refines, finishes, and adds the details that make each piece feel complete. Together, they turn Tennessee timber into heirloom treasures—one piece, one grain, and one story at a time.

Some things are worth making just right.

At Laurel & Stone Woodcraft, we believe the best pieces often begin with an idea, a special request, or a little inspiration. Whether you have a particular piece in mind, a favorite wood you'd love to see brought to life, or a meaningful gift you'd like made for someone special, we'd love to hear about it.

Each custom piece is thoughtfully crafted by hand, with an appreciation for the natural beauty of the wood and the character that makes every creation one of a kind.
