About Us

John Murphree (creator and artist of WoodCutts) had been a designer craftsman for over 40 years, exploring many mediums including leather work, beading, scrimshaw, silver smithing and finally, wood working. In 2001 John noticed that the wood jewelry displayed in trade magazines and local stores was limited in both creativity and design and that quality pieces were very expensive. This observation inspired him to combine his jewelry designing skills with his woodworking knowledge to create a concept for wood jewelry that would mark a change in the industry. In the summer of 2017, John retired to his beloved Colorado mountains and spent the remainder of his years there. His daughter Lacey Schlosky stepped into the ownership role. While intending to hold strong to John’s original creative vision, Lacey focuses on enhancing existing lines and the creation of new products, all the while continuing a steadfast commitment to affordable pricing with the highest quality standards.

All items are made at our small shop in Wheat Ridge, Colorado USA and materials are proudly sourced and manufactured in the USA.

 

We hope you will enjoy these creations as much as we enjoy making them.
