About Our Company

R. Behner Woodwork has been owned and operated by Ryan Behner out of San Diego, CA since 2016. Ryan started out as a wood turner, making bowls as well as all manner of turned objects, but slowly became focused on furniture. He still turns and enjoys incorporating turning into his furniture pieces. Working in San Diego and Los Angeles has given him an appreciation for local timber as there are many beautiful wood species growing in the region. With sustainability in mind, he chooses domestic hardwoods over exotics except in rare occasions. While he has honed his skills with Danish cord weaving and building mid century modern chairs, benches and stools (he has made and sold hundreds), he also makes a diverse range of furniture and is open to any ideas for custom orders. Please feel free to contact him directly through the contact page. Thanks for looking!
