Smyda Woodworking is located in the beautiful countryside of Rankin County near Brandon, Mississippi. Our main goal is to create beautiful functional furniture and cabinetry. When extraordinarily beautiful wood and exceptionally talented craftsmen come together at the work bench, the results can be breathtaking. We enjoy working in a large range of styles. From contemporary designs to the more traditional styles, we enjoy the challenge of every new piece we create. We strive for designing a piece that not only serves its purpose but also compliments the unique individual personality of each client.
I began designing and making furniture while attending high school back in late 1970's. As a member of a family that possessed and encouraged so much artistic talent I feel I was destined to end up where I am today, a full time furniture maker and designer. Although I spent 16 years of my life as a general contractor, I always seemed to gravitate back to the art world to find my real happiness and talent. In 1999 I decided to take the advice my father gave to me. All along he had been telling me this simplistic advice, "Follow your talents and you will be happy, fulfilled and successful".
