Hi, I’m January Moore. I create distinctive wooden home décor and accessories using locally salvaged materials, blending utility and beauty with a deep respect for craftsmanship.

​

As a native of Eastern Kentucky, my work is shaped by the region’s resilience, traditions, and breathtaking landscapes. The rolling hills, dense forests, and rich heritage of Appalachian craftsmanship inspire each piece I make. At the same time, an awareness of the region’s challenges instills in me a strong commitment to sustainability and resourcefulness—values deeply rooted in Appalachian culture.

​

Every piece I create tells a story, shaped by the wood’s natural irregularities and history. Most of my materials come from fallen trees or salvaged wood, giving new life to what might have been lost. This connection to the land, my community, and my family is at the heart of my craft. In my workshop, surrounded by the scent of sawdust and the hum of music, I find peace and purpose in transforming raw materials into heirloom-quality creations.

​

For me, woodworking began as a way to spend time with my dad, who taught me everything I know. My first project—a live-edge black walnut desk—was a labor of love and the spark that ignited my passion for woodworking. I still incorporate scraps from that project into my work today, a reminder of my dedication to minimizing waste and honoring every piece of wood.

​

I hope my work inspires connection—whether to nature, history, or the hands that shaped it—and that it brings warmth and character to each home it joins.
