I wanted simple wood stacking blocks for my one year old and I am so glad I checked out the gallery! They found a local artist who could make them for me! They even personalized it with my daughter’s name! Blocks are just such a staple toy she will enjoy for years so I was happy to pay for some beautiful bespoke handmade works of art! And shop local!

This place is a must if you love woodworking or need a special gift. Small items are around 20-30 with tables ranging from 3000-10,000. Oy I wish I could buy everything in here. Smaller gifts are great for Christmas like the cutting boards, wine bottle holders, towel holders, earrings etc. Many beautiful jewelery boxes, or other uses, that I marvel at every time. Love this place!

I really enjoy this place. I am an aspiring woodworker, and come here to get inspired as to what really fine woodworking can be and do. It is my understanding that this is a collective kind of a gallery arrangement that provides opportunity for local fine woodworkers to display and sell. Prices are as expected for high end finely crafted furniture, so I'm always just a browser, though they also always have a selection of old woodworking tools for sale that occasionally includes a pretty decent bargain, a few of which have made it into my workshop.

Many high quality wood pieces here. I find the joinery to be excellent. I'm glad to see this kind of work here in Bellingham.

I think the first review was supposed to be for the glass store across the street... Artwood is very very cool, a fairly unknown gem consisting of about ten co-op members. Twenty years (or is it more) old, they are a bunch of woodworkers which means they are very tall on amazing work and skimpy on marketing and sales which explains why Artwood is still unknown to most everyone outside of Bellingham and even many who live here. The work seems expensive? Sure, but the people making it and the gallery are not getting rich. One of a kind furniture/woodwork is time intensive, and this country is not a low wage mecca like southeast Asia. Or even mass produced in North America. On other words the value is there, its not blue sky, the question is are you willing or able to pay for it. Erica and crew at the gallery are not woodworkers, but family of woodworkers, so you get good info and a good feeling and things are clean and well organized and displayed. unlike many stores (full disclosure, I am a lifetime career woodworker) their focus is not just about how much they can sell and how long they can withhold payment. Their focus is on making the operation keep going so the woodworkers can make more great stuff. Don't think the items in the gallery were made in the back room at Artwood, or made by the people working at the gallery. The woodworkers are full time people with families and shops and woodworking tools and machinery, and a life staked on it all. My point is admire the design and craftmanship, its amazing. Don't dismiss it as "so expensive" or being unrealistic. Thats unrealistic.....

Worth the visit even if just for a look at beautifully made items. Furniture, jewelry, small items to take home all are of superior quality.
