Welcome to Live Edge Custom Arts!

I'm Chris Goins, and I've spent my entire life in East Tennessee, weaving between the beautiful counties of Blount and Knox. At 38 years old, my wife and I are proud parents and we cherish the moments we share as a tight-knit family.

Employment has always been a constant in my life, dating back to my early years. However, when the Covid pandemic struck, I found myself caught between jobs, leading me on a path that would become my lifelong passion. Before that, I honed my skills as a welder, but my heart always had an artistic streak waiting to be unleashed.

It all began when my wife requested an apothecary shelf. Armed with nothing but wood glue, a saw, and a sander, I embarked on my first woodworking project. Surprisingly, it turned out rather well, and it ignited a fire within me. Motivated by my wife's vision, I kept practicing and gradually amassed a garage full of tools.

Over time, I expanded my repertoire to include projects involving resin and other mediums. I discovered that I had a knack for bringing together diverse materials and techniques to create truly unique pieces. From furniture that showcases the raw beauty of live edge wood to intricate resin art, there's virtually nothing I can't bring to life.

Amidst all my creations, there's one endeavor that captivates me the most—a resin wood table. Inspired by a video I came across, I'm currently immersed in the process of making this dream a reality. The challenge and artistry involved make it an exciting endeavor that pushes the boundaries of my skills.

Beyond woodworking, I've also ventured into boat restoration. From fixing up boats to building floating docks, I've developed a love for breathing new life into vessels and bringing joy to fellow boating enthusiasts.

At Live Edge Custom Arts, I bring my passion for craftsmanship to every project I undertake. If you can imagine it, I can make it—a belief that drives me to exceed expectations and create pieces that blend form, function, and artistic flair.

So, come explore the beauty of wood through my portfolio and discover the exquisite craftsmanship that defines my work. Whether you seek a bespoke commission or simply want to witness the artistry of woodworking, I'm here to guide you through the process. Thank you for visiting Live Edge Custom Arts, where the beauty of wood comes to life through skill, passion, and artistry.
