About

Hi, my name is David Ellis and I’m the owner and founder of Southern Cross Woodworking.

At Southern Cross Woodworking we enjoy creating unique, handcrafted pieces for people to love and become a part of their home.

We specialize in furniture, home decor accessories, and gifts that are tailor-made to fit what you are looking for.

I love working with wood and seeing the beauty of this natural product come to life in innovative ways. And providing my customers a handcrafted work of art alternative to the mass-produced gifts and cheap particle board furniture sold today.

We’re so sure you’ll love your new handcrafted furniture we offer this guarantee … in the unlikely event you don’t like your custom furniture piece we’ll replace it at no cost to you.

We would love to assist you in bringing your imagination to life. Call or email today to begin the conversation on designing and building a furniture piece you can cherish in your home for years to come or get a unique, customized gift you can share with a friend or loved one.

The story behind the name … I’m Australian by birth and moved to the US about 25 years ago. The Southern Cross is a star constellation that can only be seen in the southern hemisphere, and there were many nights in my youth where I stared up in the night sky looking up at this constellation. The Southern Cross is also a key part of both the Australian and New Zealand flags. And so the business name is a nod to my heritage.
