Welcome to AJD Mercantile!
AJD Mercantile began with John's passion for woodworking. What started as a hobby quickly became a craft, with countless hours spent designing, building and perfecting beautiful handmade cutting boards, charcuterie boards, home décor and furniture. Every piece reflects his dedication to quality, craftsmanship and the natural beauty of wood.
As his workshop grew, so did our ideas. Amy brought her passion for design, laser engraving, eco resin, Upcycling vinyl records and candle making, allowing us to expand our collection with personalized gifts, handcrafted décor and small-batch candles that complement John's woodworking.
Today, AJD Mercantile is truly a family business. Every product is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted in our Missouri workshop. Whether it's a solid hardwood serving board, a custom-engraved keepsake, a handcrafted candle, or a unique home accent, we take pride in creating pieces that are both beautiful and made to last.
You'll often find us at local farmers markets, where we enjoy meeting our customers, sharing our newest creations and helping bring custom ideas to life. Whether you shop online, pick up from our workshop or preorder for market pickup, we're honored to be part of your home and your celebrations.
Thank you for supporting our small business. We hope you love our handcrafted creations as much as we love making them.
