No. 02 — The Gallery
Work off the bench.
Every piece here was cut, assembled and finished by hand in the Orangevale shop.
Watch the work
No pieces in that category yet — try “All Work”.
No. 03 — Our Craft
Good wood, cut once,
put together right.
We build from solid premium heart redwood and cedar — woods that stand up to rain, sun and insects without chemical treatment. Nothing here is particle board with a veneer on it. What you see is what it's made of, all the way through.
- Solid heart redwood & cedar
- Naturally resistant to rot and insects, so it lives outside for years — not seasons.
- Hand-stained & sealed
- Finished with all-natural tung oil or a marine-grade stain to bring out the grain and hold off the weather.
- True working crank & bucket
- A 1¼″ redwood dowel crank with a wooden handle and a real galvanized bucket — included, not an upsell.
- Finished on every side
- Clean trim, tight corners, sanded edges. The back looks as good as the front, because somebody's going to see it.
No. 04 — Make It Yours
Your call on every detail.
Pick the wood, the stain and the extras. We'll build it just the way you want it.
Delivery options available
Big pieces are heavy and awkward. We'll get it to your yard and set it where you want it — just ask when you call.
No. 05 — Pricing & Build Your Own
Honest numbers, up front.
Here's where our most-requested builds start — or skip ahead to the workshop below and design your own. Final price depends on size, wood and the options you choose, and you'll know it before we cut a board.

No. 06 — About the Shop
One man, one bench,
one piece at a time.
Wilson Woodworking is a faith-based, family-owned business started right here in Orangevale, California in 2026. Woodworking has been a passion of Ryan Wilson's for years, and as he prepares to retire after nearly 30 years in retail management, he's putting his time into what he truly enjoys — building quality, custom woodworking projects for families, businesses, schools, preschools and the local community.
Signature builds include wishing wells, custom planter boxes, children's mud kitchens, potting benches, outdoor furniture, arbors, trellises and other one-of-a-kind projects. Most importantly, it's a family business — every project helps support and enrich the lives of his five children, with another little one on the way.
Ryan believes in quality over quantity. Because it's a small, local business with low overhead, prices stay reasonable while everything is still built sturdy, functional and made to last. Have an idea you don't see on the site? Send it his way — custom orders are always welcome.

Questions
we get asked.
And if yours isn't here, just call — Ryan answers his own phone.
How long does a build take?
Most wishing wells are ready in about two to three weeks depending on the size and how many builds are ahead of yours. Larger custom pieces can take a little longer — you'll get a real date before we start, not a guess.
Do you deliver, and how far?
Yes. Delivery is available throughout the greater Sacramento area, and we'll set the piece where you want it rather than leaving it at the curb. Just mention delivery when you call so it's built into the quote.
Can you build a custom size?
That's most of what we do. Planter boxes come in any size you need, and wells can be sized to the spot you have in mind. Bring measurements — or Ryan can come look at the space.
Cedar or redwood — what's the difference?
Both are naturally resistant to rot and insects, so either will live outside happily. Redwood is the premium step up: richer color, tighter grain, and heart redwood is the most durable part of the tree. Redwood adds $100 to any well.
Will the well actually hold water?
A standard well is a planter — the box is lined and planted. If you want a true working water feature, add the water basin with a working pump for $100 and it runs like a fountain.
How does payment work?
A deposit gets your build in the queue and the balance is due on delivery. Cash, check and the usual card apps are all fine.
How do I take care of it?
Very little. The stain and sealer do the work. Re-coating every couple of seasons keeps the color rich, and we're happy to walk you through it when we drop it off.
