About

At Blaze’s Handcrafted Woodworks, every piece tells a story of passion, precision, and timeless craftsmanship. Founded by artisan Blaze Sonnier, his Louisiana studio is the culmination of decades spent mastering the art of woodworking—an art that began when Blaze was just 13 years old, building skateboard ramps in his backyard. What started as a creative outlet quickly became a lifelong pursuit of craftsmanship and design.

Over the years, that early spark evolved into a thriving career. Blaze now owns and operates a successful cabinet shop, where his commitment to quality and attention to detail have earned the trust of hundreds of happy clients. His extensive experience in custom cabinetry laid the foundation for his passion projects—meticulously crafted chess boards, cutting boards, and one-of-a-kind wood creations that showcase his artistry on a more personal scale.

Each piece is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted from rare, exotic woods sourced from various regions. Blaze’s work is distinguished by his unmatched precision, respect for the natural beauty of the materials, and dedication to creating heirloom-quality pieces that stand the test of time.

Whether he’s shaping a custom cabinet or hand-finishing a chess board, Blaze approaches every project with the same guiding principles: integrity, craftsmanship, and a genuine love for the process. At Blaze’s Handcrafted Woodworks, wood isn’t just a material—it’s a medium for connection, creativity, and enduring beauty.
