About

My dad and I with his new bookcase.

 

Howdy.

I’m Clayton. I am a carpenter and a furniture maker in Weiser, Idaho. After cutting my teeth in the construction business in Moscow, Idaho, I’ve returned home to continue my business and serve my community. I’m inspired by the simplicity of form found in the American Shaker and Craftsman style furniture. Solid wood construction and traditional joinery pair to create durable and beautiful pieces that will last generations.

White Lily Carpentry is a project that seeks to provide high quality furniture that carries on the wisdom and tradition of the past. As a practicing Roman Catholic, we’re taught see the dignity in work and the beauty of natural materials. We know that the home is a sacred place, and what you choose to bring into your home says what you believe it to be. I hope that my products will prove to be perennial, honest, useful, and beautiful.

"For work is a participation in the creative work of God. When he created man and blessed him, he said: "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and conquer it. Be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven and all living animals on the earth." And, moreover, since Christ took it into his hands, work has become for us a redeemed and redemptive reality. Not only is it the background of man's life, it is a means and path of holiness. It is something to be sanctified and something which sanctifies." -St. Josemaría Escrivá
