Meet the LAWS Founders

LA Woodshop was founded in 2020 by Marty Johnson, Eric Clem, and Nathan Stefanelli, independent business owners who bonded over their shared involvement in the Los Angeles woodworking community.

With over 50 years of combined knowledge in the fields of architectural woodworking, furniture-making, business, and teaching, they formed LA Woodshop with the goal of nurturing a community of like-minded makers and making entry to the world of woodworking feel less daunting for newcomers.
