Oak and Linden is owned by Aaron Henry, a licensed journeyman electrician. Aaron has a bachelors in physics and has been building items for the last 20 years. He enjoys using his mind to create an idea and turn it into reality. During the pandemic, Aaron started making wooden toys in his garage. As his woodworking skills improved, he decided to start Oak and Linden. He uses many exotic woods to bring natural color into his pieces and does not use stains to alter the natural color of the wood. By keeping the natural colors, Aaron hopes to bring an appreciation to the variety of life that exists in nature. Aaron’s favorite species to work with are purple heart and yellow heart from South America as well as wenge and padauk from Africa.
