About Us
Growing up in the country building barns and doing construction work alongside his dad, Jonathan Elwing has been building and creating since he was old enough to hold a hammer. After putting himself through school at the University of Oregon, where he studied printmaking and sculpting and earned his degree in Fine Arts, Jonathan paid off his school loans by taking a job as a Project Manager for a construction and energy retrofitting firm. It was there that he honed his construction and business skills, and realized he could combine that with his talent as an artist through home renovation. He bought an old farmhouse and restored it from top to bottom, breathing new life into it with his artistry and craftsmanship.
And when his beloved dog Tivi (who "introduced" him to his now wife, Jennifer Leigh) started slowing down, Jonathan found a new niche for his talent: woodwork projects. It was a little green custom wagon he built for Tivi that inspired many future woodwork and furniture projects, and solidified Jonathan's goal of starting his own business where he could build and create.
Along with his wife, Jonathan launched Elwing Works with the goal of providing Central Oregonians with a carpentry and home repair service that is uniquely artistic and excited to tackle your custom projects.
