Who is Bud Duchenaux?

Bud Ducheneaux is the owner of DX Woodworking, a craft-focused business specializing in furniture made primarily from reclaimed trees. His work spans a wide range—from dining tables and kitchen islands to picture frames, cribbage boards, and even earrings. Whenever possible, Bud incorporates Native themes such as ledger art and beadwork into his pieces, blending cultural expression with the raw beauty of natural wood. He is known for preserving the live edge of the wood and embracing natural “defects,” which he often enhances with colored resins and wood inlays. Rather than staining, Bud allows the natural grain and color of each piece to speak for itself, staying true to the unique character of the materials he works with. While he acknowledges that woodworking may not always fit the conventional mold, he is honored to be considered for opportunities that value creativity and cultural craftsmanship.
