Brooklyn’s Deviate Board Co. handcrafts solid-wood longboards that translate New York surf culture into street-ready rides. Founded by surfer and woodworker James Petitto, the company builds each board one at a time in its Brooklyn workshop from personally selected furniture-grade hardwood, using vertical lamination and traditional hand tools rather than industrialized production. Deviate also collaborates on custom boards and plants a tree for every handcrafted board sold.

Canterbury Woods CreationsAfter leaving a 12-year technology career, founder Francis Twomey turned an oak bed made for his new upstate New York home into Canterbury Woods Creations, a woodworking studio making handmade furniture and custom commissions. Working primarily with domestic hardwoods, Twomey builds one-of-a-kind pieces around a client’s dimensions, space, and ideas rather than producing for quantity. The family’s J&J Twomey Collection adds handmade boards and trays crafted by his parents, with a tree planted and a portion of proceeds donated to the American Heart Association for each board or tray sold.VESTAL, NY
