About Us

I’m Andrew Schatz, owner and operator of Atlas Wood Company.

I live in eastern Pennsylvania with my amazing wife, Kate, our four kids, and our loyal dog, Frankie. My path to woodworking wasn’t exactly traditional—before this, I spent 20 years in the insurance industry, watching business shift from personal, people-first service to automation, algorithms, and profit optimization. The human connection was disappearing, and it didn’t sit right with me.

When our youngest daughter was born, I stepped away to become a stay-at-home dad, soaking up time with my family. But before long, I felt the pull to create—to build something from the ground up, solve real problems, and bring value to others. That’s when Atlas Wood Company was born.

Our goal is simple: to craft high-quality pieces with integrity and treat customers the way every business should. When you purchase one of our pieces, you’re not just buying a product—you’re investing in something made with intention, built to last, and designed to bring meaning to your space.

Each piece is handcrafted from locally sourced hardwood, right here in Pennsylvania. We’re not a factory, and we don’t mass-produce. Instead, we focus on craftsmanship, quality, and making sure every detail is just right.

But to us, it’s never just about the products—it’s about the experience. We believe in doing what’s right, not what’s easy. That means going the extra mile, standing behind every piece we make, and treating every customer like they matter—because you do. Whether you need help choosing the right wood or have a question down the road, we’re always here. And if something isn’t perfect, we’ll make it right. No hoops, no hassle—just honest, human service.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know Atlas Wood Company. We look forward to creating something special for your home.
