Who we are

Hi, I'm Colin, the hands behind Secret Society Woodcraft.

As a carpenter by trade, I began learning and practicing my craft back in my small South Philly basement. What started out as a hobby quickly outgrew that space as I explored more complex designs and honed my skills. Now, from my workshop in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania I'm proud to share these handcrafted boards with you.

Each piece is a labor of love, reflecting my commitment to quality and craftsmanship. I may be the one behind the saw, but none of this would be possible without my incredible partner, Alyssa. She’s not just my wife—she’s the engine that’s driven Secret Society Woodcraft forward, working behind the scenes managing social media and connecting with our audience. Thanks to her dedication, creativity, and support, this business has taken off in ways I never imagined.

Thank you for supporting my journey!

If you’re a Philly local, make sure to check out my boards at C.M.NEFF Cookware on East Passyunk Avenue!
