heirloom quality pieces handcrafted one at a time--beautiful, functional, durable.

Mark and Yaya (Rhonda) Palmer are the creative team known as Grands Designs Woodworks. They use traditional woodworking methods to hand craft premium butcher blocks, cutting and charcuterie boards, whimsical magnets and ornaments, and custom pieces. They create from their studio outside of Athens, Georgia, on a 1940's era farm. In keeping with their vision of beautiful and sustainable, they work exclusively with locally sourced hardwoods from the Piedmont and Appalachian regions of the Southeast.
