Common Board Crafts

“Welcome to Common Board Crafts—where we turn standard hardware store lumber into beautiful, functional home goods using ordinary tools.

You don’t need a garage full of thousand-dollar industrial machinery or rare, expensive hardwoods to build an incredible home. Around here, we stick to the basics: off-the-shelf common pine, a few basic hand and power tools, and smart design. Whether you want to build a rustic bread box this afternoon or a custom vanity next weekend, our straightforward tutorials and beginner-friendly, budget-conscious build plans are designed to help you succeed on day one. Let’s make something uncommon out of the ordinary.”
