In this episode of “I Am Lakeland,” host Don Burns is joined by Craig Sacra, the talented artist and craftsman behind Crestwood Cuts. Craig shares his journey from being a traditional pen-and-paper artist to a master woodworker specializing in custom furniture made from rare and exotic hardwoods.
Craig explains his fascination with materials like Black Limba, Zebrawood, and Canarywood—timeless mediums that allow him to blend artistic vision with functional utility. He describes his process as a true collaboration, sitting down with clients for free consultations to sketch out designs that fit their specific needs and home styles. Whether it’s converting a china cabinet into a modern wet bar or creating an L-shaped desk with custom-sized drawers for specific tools, Craig’s focus is on “artfully inspired” pieces that are built to last for generations.
Whether you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind statement piece for your home or a meaningful gift that will never “wilt,” Craig’s passion for his craft is evident in every project he takes on. 76
