About Us
From Corporate Executive to Crafting Simplicity: MonteCraft’s Woodworking Journey
Founded in 2025, MonteCraft began in a small family workshop in Tampa, Florida, fueled by a lifelong love for woodworking and a passion for creating meaningful products. After years leading a Fortune 500 consulting business, Nick Montera pivoted—not from technology’s value, but toward hands-on craft that enriches daily life. With my family’s support, I launched MonteCraft to craft wood creations that blend beauty and function, from charcuterie and cutting boards to garden planters, outdoor furniture, and custom closet cabinets. We also curate high-quality partner products, sharing our commitment to exceptional, Made in America design. By prioritizing American craftsmanship, both in-house and through trusted partners, MonteCraft delivers distinctive, durable pieces that elevate your home with authentic excellence.
From Passion to Purpose: Crafting America’s Finest Woodworks
What began 25 years ago as a hobby and a weekend passion project, shaping live-edge walnut and maple, has grown into a trusted name in artisanal woodworking. From our Tampa workshop, we source America’s finest hardwoods through sustainable practices, ensuring every tree is harvested responsibly. Every piece—whether a sleek cutting board, a rustic outdoor bench, or a bespoke closet cabinet—is crafted with the heart of traditional American craftsmanship, built to last and tell the story of the hands that shaped it.
Crafting Heirlooms with Heart and Heritage
At MonteCraft, we’re driven by a love for creating meaningful, timeless pieces that blend beauty and function, that also honor the natural materials we work with. Our creations aren’t just objects—they’re heirlooms that bring warmth, character, and craftsmanship to every corner of your life. Each piece that leaves our workshop carries the mark of traditional American craftsmanship, built to last generations and tell the story of the hands that shaped it.
