is a woman owned artisan woodworking shop based in Cincinnati, OH focusing on creating one of a kind pieces for the home

All products created here are made using locally sourced, high quality hardwoods. Working with such a dynamic material means that things such as grain pattern, wood knots, or color variation become the ultimate inspiration behind every item produced.

The creative process

at groove & knot co. is extremely involved. After milling lumber on site and exposing highly unique characteristics on the new cuts of wood, multiple types of wood are then brought together to make one of a kind designs. Whether it be a singular piece of wood, or fifty pieces glued together, every item is hand shaped with the bandsaw and oscillating sander before entering through an extensive sanding process. Although it is a lengthy process, there is great pride taken in the commitment to producing high quality items.

meet the maker

Ginny Krone is the sole owner and operator of groove & knot co. Born and raised in Cincinnati, OH, she is excited to be able to share her work with the local community. While she has always been in awe of the natural world, becoming a woodworker has allowed her to connect even more deeply with this passion. Her favorite part of the making process is milling rough lumber into smaller pieces because it is where the personality of the material starts to unveil itself. While she loves working with all types of hardwood, her current favorite in the shop is Sapele.
