JR Pirtle

Founder

I’m JR, the craftsman and designer behind The Knotty Woodshop. Working out of my dedicated shop in Maricopa, Arizona, I focus on creating clean, precise, and carefully designed pieces — from custom cutting boards to detailed CNC inlays and digital files for fellow makers. I take pride in blending traditional woodworking with modern CNC precision, always aiming for work that’s both functional and visually striking. Every project is crafted with care, attention to detail, and just enough knotty personality to make it unique.
