About Magnus Woodsmith

Hello, and welcome to Magnus Woodsmith. This business was started when I started selling kindling and firestarters with the aid of my father at the age of seven to learn about business. Twelve years later, I’m nineteen and Magnus Woodsmith is still going strong. From those humble beginnings, I have expanded my knowledge and skillbase to include an array of products including cutting boards, trays, charcuterie boards, and other wooden kitchen implements. My father and I strive to improve our designs to deliver handmade products that are beautiful, functional, sustainable, and make a difference in the world.

All of our products are made with urban harvested timber or with wood from local lumber yards, and we reuse our scraps in new products whenever possible. Additionally, 15% of all our revenue is donated to cancer charities (excluding sales tax and shipping) including Dana Farber and The American Cancer Society in memory of my mom, who passed away in 2020 from colorectal cancer. We have already donated over $8000 to date.

I am now a freshman at Swarthmore College, and since I am living away from home most of the year, Magnus Woodsmith has slowed down a little. I have taken more of a design and management role and my father has been handling more of the production lately. Still, I continue to make products over school breaks and I run craft fairs whenever I can. Come say hi sometime or see our products at one of our retail partners. I really hope you like what we make.

Help Us Help Others

Please considering donating to either the American Red Cross or the Dana Farber’s The Jimmy Fund to help fund family support initiatives and basic cancer research, respectively. I donate 15% of my gross revenues to cancer related charities.
