Meet the owner and craftsman of Sidetracked Workshop, Peter Huizenga! Peter lives and words in Portland, OR and has enjoyed working with his hands since he was very young. In the summer of 2020, Peter had the opportunity to build a Tiny House on wheels, and he jumped at the chance. After completing that project, he decided to turn his budding shop into a woodworking business and create handcrafted home goods and furniture. Peter sources almost all of his wood from local area sawmills and starts many projects with dried wood slabs. “Throughout the creative process, I strive to preserve as much of the natural form and beauty of the wood as possible,” Peter explains. To accomplish this, he uses organic shapes and live edge design in his pieces. Peter works out of his 500 square foot home workshop and uses power and hand tools to create a variety of home goods including charcuterie boards, cutting boards and candle holders. He is also available for custom commissions and bulk orders. When Peter isn’t creating in his workshop, you might find him hiking, snowboarding or lounging with his Newfoundland puppy, Appa.
