Hi. I'm Tom

Thank you for taking the time to check out my web site and my story.
My name is Tom Lilly and I live just about 45 minutes north of Seattle, WA. I am not a native of the PNW. I came out here in the 1995 with the Navy when I was transferred to the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). I met and fell in love with the amazing woman who is my wife and decided to call this area home.
A few years ago my wife and I decided we did not like the look of our kitchen. Now, you have to understand that our house was only about 9 years old at the time. The kitchen was nice, but made with builder-grade counters and cabinets. It just needed a facelift. Well, we took it up a notch. I started researching how to pour concrete countertops.
Since I started working with concrete I have been itching to do more. I also love the look of stained wood. How can I combine them? I thought about different ways to showcase the properties of hard, solid concrete with different species of wood. I landed on serving trays and side tables.
I am a nurse and spend the majority of my life helping people in their health journey. This calling gives me a sense of fulfillment I had not experienced since serving in the US Navy many years ago. Life is really all about serving those in need, right? Life as a nurse is also pretty busy and emotionally heavy at times. I have found a release by working with my hands. I come home from work, change into jeans and a t-shirt, and head into the garage for some “therapy” with power tools and beautiful hard woods.
I have a blast building cutting boards and charcuterie trays. Each is unique and will be a great conversation piece for any dining table or kitchen.
Contact me to discuss your thoughts and ideas. How can we work together?
