Our Story

Two generations of woodworking excellence, dedicated to the craft of transforming wood into heirlooms.

Our workshop

From Medical Roots to Woodworking Passion

Dr. Richard B. Hawkins spent decades in medicine, where precision, attention to detail, and patient care weren't just values—they were requirements. When he discovered woodworking, he realized these same principles were the foundation of exceptional craftsmanship.

What started as a hobby in his garage in 2012 quickly became a passion project that demanded a full-time commitment. Today, Dr. Hawkins Woodworking stands as one of Fitchburg's most trusted names in custom furniture and cabinetry.

We believe that every piece of wood has a story waiting to be revealed. Our mission is to uncover that beauty and create something your family will treasure for generations.
