About Us

Planeta Woodworking was established in 2018 by Nick Planeta.

While only 15 years old, his passion for making cutting boards began taking off. He always (and still does) enjoy woodworking and creating things. In March of 2020, Planeta was in his junior year of High School when the world shut down due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Because of the uncertainty and time off of school, Planeta used his time by woodworking and promoting it on his social media page. Soon, the word spread about his high-quality handmade work, and people wanted these boards.

He started making them daily and eventually partnered with a local store to sell them and started his website to sell online. Eventually, Planeta Woodworking expanded into making more than cutting boards, including custom cabinetry, furniture pieces, Personalized Wood Signs made in the USA, the list goes on. Planeta soon began promoting his slogan, “You Name It, I’ll build it!” and was featured by his local newspaper for his five-star woodworking skills. 

Now an Eagle Scout, and Junior Civil Engineering Student at Quinnipiac University, Planeta continues to strive for the best quality on its products and sources all of its supplies from the United States. Planeta Woodworking has grown from a small basement shop into a multifunctional woodworking company whose roots are the traditional woodworking craft. We have begun to branch into the world of Wholesale Manufacturing, Precision Wood CNC Machining, and Laser Engraving. All of our products are handmade, finished, inspected, and shipped from Durham, CT.

Live Edge Ash Coffee Table

This Coffee Table was handcrafted from Solid Ash Wood, which was harvested right in Durham, CT, approximately 2 Miles from Our Shop. It is unique in the center where it began to decay due to the Emerald Ash Borer that attacked most of the Ash trees recently in the Northeast US. We filled the void with Epoxy Resin (Smokey Grey) to seal the wood, and to give it a nice contrast. We also enlisted the help of a local Metal Fabricator (also from Durham, CT) to hand Bend, Weld, and finish the legs for us. This table is 100% American Made, with Domestically Sourced Materials.

I took a chance on a Facebook post and I'm so glad I did! We could not find exactly what we wanted in any furniture store. Nick built us a beautiful custom dining room set including 10 chairs. He is very professional and kept us updated on the progress of our project, sending pictures along the way. I highly recommend Planeta Woodworking!! Thank you Nick!

I ordered an ornament for my granddaughter and it was perfection. Wood with 'chilling on a dirt road' engraved on it. She is going to love it. She went to his concert and while there she texted me to say this was our song now and forever. I recommend Planeta woodworking to everyone.

Nick was great to work with. He took my custom project idea, and returned an estimate quickly. He then turned that into plans for my approval, then went to work building my custom drawer cabinet. He communicated often and fixed any issues by being forthright and letting me decide on options. This was a great project and just what I was looking for.

Nick has been a buddy of mine for years and stands out as a friendly, hard working guy. He recently lent me a hand by designing and constructing signs for a camp that I supervise in East Hartford. As a student, intern, and businessman, I didn’t expect that my signs were at the top of his list of priorities, especially since he was doing me a favor. However, after a long shift at his day job, he spent the evening in the workshop making them so that I could have them on time for the beginning of camp. Evidently, signs were high quality, lightweight, and on the first day of camp, complimented by numerous parents and the town camp director. I can’t emphasize enough Nick’s integrity and reliability as a business owner and friend. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services to anyone looking for high quality, professionally crafted wood products.
