Welcome to my online platform. I'm Eric Heck, a dedicated woodworker based in Babylon, NY. My journey in woodworking began to flourish in 2001 when I embarked on my career as a high school woodshop teacher.

I hold a strong commitment to environmental preservation, striving to minimize my ecological footprint in every project. To this end, I meticulously source materials, often repurposing found wood to breathe new life into each piece I create. I firmly believe that every artifact and piece of lumber has a story to tell, deserving of a second chance.

My upbringing in upstate New York, exploring the serene shores of Lake Ontario, and later, my immersion in the dynamic beaches of Long Island's south shore, have deeply influenced my work. This diverse experience has naturally infused a nautical-inspired theme throughout my creations, lending them a distinct character.

As both a craftsman and educator, I aim to inspire the next generation of woodworkers while advocating for sustainable practices within our industry. My expertise and unwavering dedication to quality and environmental responsibility set me apart in the woodworking community.
