Who is Sawdust & Sparks?

We're Kristi and Bettina (Bettina's the brunette), married since 2009 and in this little business together since 2025, when we both found ourselves laid off from non-profit and DEIB jobs. We decided to add something creative to our world so that job searching didn't suck the life out of us, and we found a real love for making cool things with our own two hands, some power tools, and a laser machine.

We named our woodworking business Knot Straight and our laser business Bee Sparks, and together, we're Sawdust & Sparks. Every piece is finished by hand, and custom orders are signed off only when you say it's right. Whether it's branded coasters for your team or a frame for a once-in-a-lifetime moment, we'd love to make it for you.

Our in-stock items/products are all listed and can also be personalized with names, logos, or photo engravings. All of our serving pieces are finished by hand with food safe oils and board butters.
