Hudson Woodworking & Restoration

We offer custom built, solid wood furniture. In the tradition of old world artistry, we hand pick every piece of wood, cut, plane, and construct with the utmost care. We can fully design or incorporate your ideas. A limited number of projects are taken on a year so we can focus on your commissioned piece.

Hudson Woodworking is a family owned and operated furniture restoration and custom furniture shop run by husband and wife team, Joe and Rebekka Hudson, that serves Northern Virginia and the VA/WV Shenandoah Valley. Joe is a 4th generation master woodworker and refinisher originally from NEPA. Rebekka grew up in NOVA with a background in art and design, and elementary special education. After 7 years in Chantilly, VA we have relocated and expanded our workshop to the beautiful Eastern Panhandle of WV, with an office in Leesburg, VA.

We use a post-cat lacquer, which is the highest quality finish commercially available. This means we mix and add the catalyst to the finish ourselves, which makes it a lot more durable and water resistant. We can also adjust for different conditions. Most furniture manufacturers use a pre-cat lacquer which is mixed at the finish manufacturing plant. A post-cat lacquer only has a shelf life of a few hours after mixing because of the strength of the catalyst. Where as a pre-cat lacquer has a shelf life of a few months after opening.
