Cory & Kelsey Gillespie
Founders & Makers
We were over-the-road truck drivers when we found out we were expecting, so we came home to New Orleans, Louisiana to start a new chapter. Around November 2025 we started making things out of wood and wax — Cory on the woodworking side, Kelsey crafting candles, wax melts, and car air fresheners. Cory also composes music, and a lot of our videos feature his custom-made songs.
“Every piece is made by hand in our home workshop — wood and wax, shaped with heart and a whole lot of love.”

Frequently asked
Absolutely — custom work is our favorite. Reach out through the contact form below and tell us what you have in mind. We'll work with you on the design, wood, and scent.
Every piece is made by hand, so timing varies with the project. Most ready-made items ship within a week, while custom woodworking can take a little longer. We'll always give you a timeframe up front.
We started out selling locally in the New Orleans area, but we're now reaching customers online too. Message us and we'll sort out shipping for your order.
Kelsey rotates a selection of seasonal and signature scents throughout the year. Ask us what's currently available or request a favorite.
Wipe wooden pieces clean with a damp cloth and re-oil cutting boards occasionally to keep them looking their best. We include simple care notes with every wood order.
