Story

Ozark Carpentry & Design is a custom furniture shop in Northwest Arkansas owned and operated by Ryan Ceola.

A legacy of craftsmanship, Ryan grew up helping his father build furniture and fix antiques while being taught the tools of the trade along the way. Above all, he learned a commitment to excellence he takes to each piece he designs and builds.

As a creative engineer, Ryan is at his best when working alongside a client or designer to make their vision come to life.

Each piece of custom furniture is designed, crafted and built to be beautiful, functional and durable; to be loved, used and passed down for generations.

Testimonials

  • “We commissioned Ryan to build a walnut storage record cabinet. He worked with our designer to create a custom modular piece. We live in Oregon, and we worked with him entirely through email and texts. He built the piece quickly and arranged shipping for us. The cabinet arrived, and we were thrilled with the results. It’s incredibly well-made with beautiful, high quality eastern walnut and the craftsmanship is top notch. Highly recommend!!”

    -Levia

  • “Working with Ryan at Ozark Carpentry & Design was seamless and enjoyable. The communication was exceptional. As I am in NY and they are in Arkansas,  I continually received updates along with photos of my project from start to delivery! I now have a beautiful new custom home for my 1,500 record albums along with audio equipment. I am extremely happy with the wonderful design, craftsmanship and personal attention given to my project!”

    -Joe

  • “This vinyl record cabinet is built extremely well and Ryan's work is amazing! He quickly responded to any questions we had throughout the entire process and was able to match the cabinet almost perfectly with another piece of furniture we had close by. All around a fantastic purchase and great customer service! We are sure to buy more pieces in the future!”

Finishes

Shop Now

  • Hard Oil/Wax

    The preferred method of finish to both protect and bring out the natural beauty of the wood.

  • Stain

    While we prefer to use natural products to maintain the given beauty of the chosen wood species, we also appreciate the color that stain can add. We like to use Old Masters brand when staining. Your piece can be modified to any color in their catalog.

  • TopCoat

    When staining or otherwise necessary, we will add a clear topcoat of either polyurethane or varnish to provide even more protection. A typical use for this would be for furniture that receives the most action, like tables. This additional topcoat may or may not be necessary and will be left to our discretion.

FAQ

Lead Time

We’re a small shop in Northwest Arkansas. Our current work load greatly affects new project lead times. Please inquire about current lead time and possible expedited orders.
Our current lead time on is 8-12 weeks from purchase date.

Quality | Function | Beauty

Rest assured. We agonize over these three elements. From hand-picking the exact pieces of wood from our supplier, to making sure we have little to no material waste, to determining the specific joinery techniques that will ensure this piece lasts a lifetime, we are laser focused on providing furniture with these three elements. We want each piece to be durable and able to endure many years of loving use.

We won’t cut any corners. We want every single piece that leaves the shop to be something we are proud of.

Before You Purchase

Please read the descriptions for full details and then contact me. Do not purchase until you've contacted me. Thank you.

Shipping

We exclusively use private shippers who we know and trust to care for your purchase until it arrives in your home. This does mean that forecasting exact shipping times is difficult because we work with our shippers to fit within their trip schedule. Sometimes a piece may be done for a week or two before a shipper can pick it up. We feel that the trade off is well worth it. We’d always rather be a little flexible on shipping times than have our beautiful furniture destroyed by UPS or FEDEX. We’re always holding our breath until we hear that the piece has been safely delivered to happy customers.
