Meet the Maker
Phil Rasmussen
Mountain Woodworker
We design and create custom, hand-crafted furniture, decor items, pens for clients worldwide.
Mountain Woodworker was formally created by Phil Rasmussen in 2009 after retirement from both the military and the NC Community College System.
Phil's first exposure to woodworking was at his grandfather's knees when he was around seven years old. His Grandfather was a noted craftsman in the Boston area and did much of the repair work to furniture and other items at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
As he grew, Phil kept an interest in woodworking helping his father with home projects. In 1959,he turned his first cup and bowl while attending school in Turkey.
Continuing with his education while in the service, Phil developed his artistic skills through art and photography courses. While attending Rochester Institute of Technology, he sold his first piece of woodwork (a dinning room table) at a student art exhibit.
Since graduating from college he has taught courses at the community college and university level for students and faculty alike until he retired in 2009, at which time he formed Mountain Woodworker. While creating masterful pieces of woodworking, he continues to lecture and demonstrate various aspects of woodworking.

Oct 25, 2021Very happy with the overall project. All of the stages of the project met all expectations. Phil did a great job and met my delivery timelines. Phil had some power outage problems in his shop, interrupting a few days of output, but was able to get the final product out the door. Appreciate the work and professionalism. Provided communications throughout the process.

May 3, 2017This was my first project through CustomMade, and I couldn't be happier. Phil's excellent craftsmanship was only exceeded by his prompt communication and vision to understand exactly what I wanted. The value was extraordinary and I look forward to working with him again in the near future.

Jan 4, 2021Phil did the most amazing job! From our beginning written discussions we narrowed down what I wanted. The craftmanship is exceptional. It was a joy to interact on this project which gave me such a fitting tribute to my husband's flag from Arlington National Cemetery. Thank you so much!
