Greg Everhart Email & Phone Number

Jamestown, North Carolina, United States

Hi, I’m Greg! When I came across some woodworking equipment, along with some walnut and maple slabs in my Dad’s basement, I decided to start a few projects with what I uncovered. What started as a hobby making some planter boxes, benches, geometric wall art pieces, and keepsake boxes for friends and family, turned into making some charcuterie boards using epoxy. Since my wife, Kathy, for years has been knitting dish cloths, baby blankets, shawls, and throw blankets, we decided to turn our projects into a small business. With the encouragement of our two sons, Everhart Designs was formed! Check out our past and current projects. Feel free to reach out about any custom boards or knitting for your next gathering, home decor/design, or special event!
