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.

up north near Kansas City but not really here in the Ozarks.
But, we found a nice little bit of it and snapped it up quick!
Here are a few pictures of our last little load

Missouri has talent !
It's not often (or ever) that I get to talk about the judging I
do for various fairs, shows, galleries or competitions. They don't
want anyone to know who does the judging for good reasons, I
suppose. But this competition of the best highschool students
in Missouri was different. They encouraged the judges to talk
with the students after the judging so that they might learn and get
a different perspective. Imagine that! I (and several
others) judged the furniture and woodturning divisions. Here's
a few pictures of what these talented craftsmen showed off.
Check out a few of the pictures
here.
And, if you'd like to get a few tips from one of the judges, click
