Laughing Coyote Woodworks is a small woodworking business that makes its home in the Green Mountains of southwestern Vermont. Our 2-person business began in 1991. We focus on making handcrafted wooden furniture, clocks, and accessories of our own design with a nod of recognition to the Mission, Shaker, and Arts and Crafts styles of furnituremaking.

​

Laughing Coyote's furnituremaking is done by Roy Gibson. Roy learned his craft from his father, Klein, who shared his lifelong love of wood and handcrafted furniture and accessories with his son.

​

Laughing Coyote Woodworks' creations are all handmade and hand-finished using time-honored woodworking techniques. We use the most environmentally responsible materials possible in their manufacture. These include sustainably harvested woods, salvaged woods, and vegetable oils and shellac for finishes.

​

Laughing Coyote Woodworks is also happy to build custom orders of just about anything. If you can imagine it, we can build it! We've built caskets, industrial fixtures, speakers, doors, a music box shaped like a Bible; the list goes on.

 

The other half of Laughing Coyote is Patti Exster. She runs the website, manages the books, takes care of correspondence, and helps out with production.
