Our Story

About the Maker: DAllenK

Lofi Woodworks is more than a name—it’s a way of life. I’m DAllenK, a one-man shop based in Long Beach, California, where sawdust meets storytelling and every piece is built with intention. I started Lofi Woodworks to create things that feel personal, imperfect in the best way, and full of soul.

My work is inspired by the raw honesty of punk music, the laid-back joy of a good beer, and the kind of community that shows up around a campfire or a handmade table. I build furniture, gifts, and home decor that reflect those values—simple, functional, and unapologetically unique.

Everything I make is crafted by hand using domestic hardwoods sourced from trusted mills across the USA. I also work with reclaimed materials whenever possible, giving new life to wine barrels, salvaged furniture, and forgotten scraps. My finishes are natural or low-VOC, because sustainability isn’t just a feature—it’s a responsibility.

Lofi Woodworks is proudly small, proudly local, and proudly weird. Whether it’s a custom speaker box, a wine caddy with a story, or a one-off commission, I build each piece with care, character, and a little bit of punk spirit.

Thanks for supporting handmade. Thanks for supporting small. And thanks for being part of the story.

 

Materials That Matter

At Lofi Woodworks, we believe the materials you choose say something about the values you hold. That’s why we build with purpose—using reclaimed wood, responsibly harvested domestic hardwoods, and finishes that are as gentle on the planet as they are beautiful to the eye.

Many of our pieces begin with wood that’s already lived a life: wine barrels, salvaged furniture, forgotten scraps with character. We don’t erase their past—we celebrate it. The knots, stains, and grain patterns tell stories of time, use, and transformation. When you bring one of these pieces into your home, you’re not just decorating—you’re preserving history.

We also source domestic hardwoods from trusted mills across the U.S., supporting sustainable forestry and reducing the carbon footprint of our materials. These woods—like white oak, walnut, and maple—offer durability, warmth, and timeless beauty.

To finish each piece, we use natural oils and low-VOC sealers that protect without overpowering. You won’t find harsh chemicals or synthetic gloss here—just a clean, honest finish that lets the wood breathe and the craftsmanship shine.

Because sustainability isn’t just a feature—it’s the foundation.

 

Custom Woodworking, Built Around You

At Lofi Woodworks, we believe furniture should feel personal—like it belongs in your space and your story. That’s why we offer custom woodworking, from one-of-a-kind furniture builds to personalized versions of our standard pieces.

Whether you’re dreaming up a dining table made from reclaimed oak, a speaker box that fits your vibe, or a wine caddy engraved with a special message, we’ll work with you to bring it to life. Every project starts with a conversation and ends with something that’s truly yours.

We also love customizing our existing designs. Want a different wood species, finish, or size? Need a piece to match your home’s style or fit a unique nook? We’ve got you. Our small-batch approach means we can tweak, adjust, and collaborate—no mass production, just meaningful creation.

Because when you choose handmade, you deserve something made for you.
