Hilton Handcraft of the Ozarks
is a family run and operated business located deep in the heart of the Missouri
& Arkansas Ozarks hill country. Absolutely every craft, art and the
majority of our products are hand made by the family and some of our closest
relatives and friends. We incorporate woodworking, woodturning, painting,
sculpture, polymer clay, fiber and several other crafts into our pieces.
Some of our products include specialty wood (woodturning blanks of all sorts,
large slabs for tables/benches, thin slices for box makers, and more), gallery
woodturned pieces, craft show items, custom furniture (specializing in high-end
lodge furniture out of local woods) and production work (woodwork and
woodturning) for other companies.
You can be assured that your gift or piece of art is
made by real people, with real hands-on skill and time here in the heartland of
America. We think that is what makes the difference for you folks.
We take our time. Some people think we "take our own sweet time"
and that's fine with us! But the results are worth it every single time.
Look around and please hollar

over again in classes, demonstrations or shows; and sometimes we get
requests from customers, readers and even woodturning clubs.

Wilson's Creek Battlefield, MO
KOLR 10 TV Video of us in action
It was a hot August when the battle
of Wilson's Creek was fought in 1861 here in the Ozarks. And,
so it is with the 150th reenactment this year! Many folks have
already seen us out there doing our demonstrations of period
woodworking, furniture making and daily life here in the Ozarks
during that period and many more will see us over the course of the
weekend. Take a look around the website but just realize that
much of what you saw at this event such as
furniture,
kitchenware (treenware) and games
isn't listed in our online store or other
places. We simply make too many things to ever be able to keep
this website updated. So, if you want to order something you
saw at the battlefield, just contact us
and we'll get you the information. Stay Cool !

Slab Coffee Table
This is a big slab coffee table we made for a friend in 2007.
Cantilevered design with a rustic look fits perfectly into the great
design of the lodge type home it was custom made for. Take a look
here.

A French Castle in the Ozarks?
I've heard of this project for a couple of years now and just
haven't taken the time to go visit it firsthand. Well, after
talking with some of the artisans that are working on the castle, I
decided it was time to take a look myself. I took hundreds of
pictures but will only post a few. The panoramic pictures are
very large so they take a long time to download. Pictures
here.
