Gary Cooper has been working with wood for over 30 years and Cooper’s Wood Studio is located in beautiful Kettle (Cumberland County), KY.

Specializing in band-sawn boxes of varying shapes, sizes and woods to hold your special keepsakes, jewelry or to just empty the contents of your pockets at the end of the day, he also creates lamps, tables, bookcases, and musical instrument display cabinets.

His artistic process begins with the harvesting of local hardwoods (walnut, oak, cherry, maple, ash, sassafras, butternut, honey locust, etc.) and custom kiln drying selections. Fine craftsmanship and attention to detail is evident in every piece he creates in his one-man shop.

A juried exhibiting member of the Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen, and the Sheltowee Guild of Artists and Craftsmen, he also belongs to the Tennessee Association of Craft Artisans and The American Crafts Council.

NEW !! Gary's work is now juried into The Kentucky Craft Marketing Program so look for him at the 2008 Craft Market in Louisville, KY.

Commissions are accepted and visits to Cooper’s Wood Studio are by appointment only.
