Keeping It Local: Red Onion Woodworks

Red Onion Woodworks might not be local to Portland, but they are located just an hour.5 south of this lovely city - five minutes away from the first college I graduated from. I came across their lovely cutting boards on Etsy and fell in love with the salvaged black walnut board pictured above. Isn't it beautiful??!

Camille, the owner, takes sustainability very seriously. She even lives in a 450 square foot cabin at the end of a gravel road with her husband and two children. I love when families live in tiny houses together. All the cutting boards are made using locally sourced wood, including trees taken out of backyards by arborists and hardwood logs salvaged from industrial logging operations. She reused or repurposes shipping material and applies a non-toxic finish to all of her cutting boards and serving trays.

I love Oregon and it's craftspeople.
