Our Story
Over the span of more than twenty years and two careers — one in Higher Education and one in the world of Business — Dr. Chuck Hood has been handcrafting uniquely beautiful furniture for his family, at least until there was no more room in his home or in his children's homes! So, in 2021, Chuck and Susan opened the MountainWoodsNC shop, located in The Marquee (B-19) in the River Arts District of Asheville. These first few years have taken them on quite a journey and they've loved every minute of it.
At MountainWoodsNC, only real wood is used for the handcrafted pieces. The MountainWoodsNC collection of heirloom quality furniture includes natural, live edge and handcrafted…
Charcuterie Tables
Sofa Tables
Console Tables
Specialty Tables
Coffee Tables
Accent and Side Tables
Chairs
One, Two and Three Person Benches
Shelves
Coat Racks
Fireplace Mantels
Charcuterie Boards
Cutting Boards
Cheese Boards
… and many other pieces. Every piece is crafted from a solid slab of wood, full of inherent character, blemishes, holes, and varied textures. Chuck and Susan intentionally seek out wood with cracks, twists, holes, and distinguishing colors. That is why no two pieces are the same at MountainWoodsNC.
The mountains of Western North Carolina hold more than fifteen species of wood, many of which Chuck and Susan use as they craft various pieces of furniture and home decor. These woods include…
Black Walnut
Cherry
Ambrosia Maple
Osage Orange
Maple
Red, White and Chestnut Oak
Mountain Locust
Rainbow Poplar
River Elm
Ash
….and even the rarely found Flaming Box Elder!
Each type of wood has its own unique characteristics and distinguishing attributes and the Hoods endeavor to fashion these rough slabs of wood into furniture for your home that will be cherished for a lifetime.
Chuck and Susan would love to work with you to create furniture that will be passed from generation to generation within your family. Simply put, they would enjoy ‘talking wood’ with you.
