Stillground Works is a small, family-run business based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, creating thoughtfully made signs, art prints, and meaningful décor.

Handcrafted home decor, personalized gifts, nature-inspired artwork, and keepsakes designed to belong.

🤍 Made for where you belong

📍 Green Bay, Wisconsin

🌿 Custom orders welcome

🏡 stillgroundworks.com Our work is inspired by natural materials, quiet landscapes, and the sense of belonging that comes from well-made design. We create personalized wooden signs, fine art prints, and keepsakes using a blend of careful craftsmanship and modern tools, with close attention to material, proportion, and how each piece will live in a space. Stillground Works is the name behind what we make. Stillground Made is where we share and sell that work on Etsy. Our art is offered as professionally printed fine art prints, ready for you to frame and make your own. Alongside art, we create handcrafted wood pieces designed to feel personal, lasting, and at home in everyday spaces. At Stillground Works, we believe good design should feel calm, approachable, and enduring — something that settles into a space rather than follows a trend.

12 years ago, during deer hunting season, Greg decided to bring home a little Lab puppy. There was just one small detail... he hadn't discussed it with me first. 😂

And then, as if that wasn't enough, he left for deer hunting, leaving me home with this little wiggle butt.

Well, what was I supposed to do? I fell in love with him, of course. ❤️

That little wiggle butt was Scout, and over the next 12 years, he filled our home with more love, laughter, mischief, and memories than we ever could have imagined.

Scout was the dog who always had to lie on the bathroom floor while you showered. The one who barked excessively every time someone came home, as if we'd been gone for years. The one who somehow knew when you weren't feeling well and would curl up beside you.

He was a giant lap dog who never quite understood just how big he was.

And he certainly wasn't an angel. 😂

If there was something on the counter he wasn't supposed to have, he'd find a way to get it. Raspberries and tomatoes growing in the backyard? Apparently, someone planted those just for him.

And then there was Greg. Scout slept beside him every single night, and heaven forbid I asked him to move. I'd get a grumble letting me know exactly how he felt about that!

He was stubborn, mischievous, loving, and full of personality. And somehow, all those little things that could drive you crazy became the very things that made him so special.

Last Sunday, we said goodbye to our sweet Scout.

Our home and workshop will be a little quieter now. We won't hear that familiar bark when we walk through the door, see a big furry shadow waiting outside the shower, or hear a grumble from the bed when someone asks to move.

It's funny how the smallest, most ordinary moments become the ones that mean so much when they're gone.

Scout reminded us that home isn't just a place. It's the lives we share, the love we give, and the memories we make along the way. Sometimes those memories come with muddy paws, stolen tomatoes, and a whole lot of dog hair.

12 years ago, one little puppy unexpectedly became part of our family. And he found a place in our hearts that will always belong to him.

I know 12 years sounds like a long time, but when you've loved a dog for that many years, it never feels like nearly enough. ❤️

Rest easy, Scout. You were loved beyond words. ❤️🐾

Sometimes supporting small business looks like a cup of tea. 🤎

At one of the markets we've attended, Dan and Joie stopped by our Stillground Works booth. While we talked, we learned they own @ JD Silo Herb Farm & Gardens — and one of the things they sell is dried herbs.

I didn't buy any from the store.

But instead, I remembered them.

Why chamomile?

Well... I planted my own this year.

And apparently I got so busy trying to grow Stillground Works that I forgot I was also supposed to keep the chamomile growing. 😂

Let's say it didn't make it.

I sometimes make myself a cup of chamomile tea at night when the work is done, and I'm ready to slow things down for the day. So when I needed some, I remembered the small business owners we'd met at our booth and decided that's where I wanted to buy it.

And it got me thinking about something we sometimes forget about local markets.

A sale doesn't necessarily happen while someone is standing in front of your booth.

Sometimes someone sees what you make, remembers you, follows your page, visits your website — or comes back weeks later when they actually need what you sell.

Greg and I are usually the ones standing on the vendor side of the table, hoping someone will remember Stillground Works after they walk away.

This time, I was the person who remembered someone else's small business. 🤎

That's a pretty good reminder of why showing up, talking to people, and making those connections matters.

And I'm pretty happy that when my own chamomile didn't survive my small-business ambitions, I knew another small business I could support. 😂

As for growing my own again next year?

We'll see if Stillground Works lets me remember to water it.

Thinking Outside the Box 📦

When we started Stillground Works, there were plenty of expenses we expected.

Wood. Laser equipment. Packaging. Website fees. Shipping.

But then you discover the expenses you never even thought about.

Like... a cardboard box.

The box Greg is holding in this video cost us $12.

Twelve dollars.

For a cardboard box.

And that's before we've put a single thing inside it. 😂

Maybe we're cheap. Maybe we're practical. But Greg and I both looked at that and thought, There has GOT to be another way.

So we quite literally started thinking outside the box.

We started saving some of the larger cardboard boxes that things were shipped to us in. Instead of immediately breaking them down for recycling, we started looking at them differently.

Could we turn this cardboard into the exact boxes we need?

That's when Greg went to work.

He started measuring, drawing and designing box templates that we could cut on our laser. Before long, he came upstairs carrying a few different boxes he'd designed, cut, folded and assembled himself.

And they worked.

Then came the bigger challenge.

Could we make our own box for one of our large custom signs?

Back to the drawing board Greg went...

And that is probably one of the things nobody tells you about starting a small business.

Sometimes you're designing products.

Sometimes you're engraving cutting boards.

Sometimes you're working on a website or taking pictures.

And apparently sometimes you're standing in the workshop trying to figure out how to turn somebody else's shipping box into your shipping box. 😂

But every time we figure out one of these little things, we're learning how to make Stillground Works work a little better.

And if we can reuse something that would otherwise be thrown away while avoiding spending $12 on an empty cardboard box?

We'll call that a win.

Sometimes thinking outside the box means making the box yourself. 📦

Congratulations, Cody & Genevieve! 🤍

These two began a brand-new chapter together, and now we can finally share this custom cutting board created especially for them.

Personalized with their names, wedding year, and a simple botanical design, this is one of those pieces we hope becomes more than a keepsake from their wedding day.

We hope it finds its place in their home — brought out for family dinners, celebrations, quiet nights in, and all of the ordinary moments that eventually become some of the best memories.

Here's to a lifetime of love, laughter, adventures, and building a beautiful life together.

Congratulations, Cody & Genevieve! 🥂

Suppose every little business eventually needs a sign. 🤎

And when your business happens to own a laser...

Apparently, you make your own. 😂

This is our new Stillground Works sign, and seeing it finished feels a little more meaningful than I expected.

When Greg and I started Stillground Works, it was mostly ideas.

Ideas for things we wanted to make.
Ideas for what the name should be.
Ideas for a logo.
Ideas for a website.
Ideas about what this little business might someday become.

Slowly, those ideas have started turning into something real.

We have a website.

We've filled tables at markets with things we've made.

We've created pieces that have become wedding gifts, anniversary gifts, Christmas ornaments and parts of people's homes.

We've met customers who have come back to see us again.

And now...

We have a sign. 😂

Greg and I made this one ourselves, right here at Stillground Works — because apparently buying a business sign would have been entirely too easy for us.

It's just another small step.

But when you're building something from the ground up, those small steps can feel pretty darn good. 🤎

Congratulations, Savanna & Ryan! 🤍

Yesterday, these two officially started their greatest adventure yet.

When we created this custom cutting board for Savanna & Ryan, we knew that a love of adventure was part of their story. So it seems fitting that this piece, made especially for the beginning of their marriage, will now head home with them for everything that comes next.

The big adventures. The unexpected ones. The places they'll discover. And all of those wonderfully ordinary days at home in between.

We hope this board becomes a small reminder of where this chapter began and follows them through many, many years of memories together.

Here's to a lifetime of love, laughter, and always finding another adventure around the corner.

Congratulations, Savanna & Ryan! 🥂

It looks like it’s on fire. 🔥

Don't worry — it's supposed to do that. 😂

This is one of our custom wooden spoons being engraved, and I love watching the little flames dance across the wood as the laser burns the design into the surface.

I've watched this machine engrave more pieces than I could count, and somehow this part still doesn't get old.

The laser moves back and forth, the flames dance along behind it, and little by little the design starts to appear.

Pretty cool to watch, isn't it? 🔥

It’s the little things. 🤎

When we make one of our personalized cutting boards, the personalization doesn’t stop when Greg finishes the engraving.

We personalize the care insert that goes with it, too.

Every cutting board includes instructions for how to care for it, but instead of putting the same generic card into every package, we add the names of the people the board was made for.

Is it necessary? Probably not.

Would a regular printed care card do the same job? Absolutely.

But that’s not really the point.

When someone opens a package from Stillground Works, we don’t want it to feel like a product was pulled off a shelf.

We want it to feel like someone made this especially for you.

Because someone did. 🤎

The design matters.
The engraving matters.
The wood and the finish matter.

But we think the little things matter, too.

Sometimes those small finishing touches are what make a gift feel that much more personal.
