GARDEN VARIETY A CUT ABOVE Justin Bailey’s hand-hewned cutting boards, bread lames and more, are primarily made of ash, walnut, maple and cherry woods. ta s t e m a k e r Whittled Wonders Justin Bailey’s hand-carved utilitarian goods don’t blend into the woodwork. Woodworker Justin Bailey loves the outdoors, and it shows. Before a cutting board, saltbox or cracker tray leaves his Rahway garage turned woodshop, it’s stamped with his self-designed Campfire Woodworks logo—a flame fueled by a hammer and saw. “When I moved to New Jersey four years ago, I started doing woodworking seriously, and I needed a name for the company. Campfire Woodworks felt natural. If I’m not in the woodshop, I spend most of my free time sitting around a campfire,” says Bailey, who works full-time as a volunteerrelations manager at a nonprofitoutdoor conservation group, the Appalachian Mountain Club. The 36-year-old, self-taught woodworker transforms walnut, maple, cherry and ash, often sourced from J.H. Monteath Lumber Co. in Old Bridge, into functional, decorative pieces. “I take everyday objects and elevate their quality and style,” he says. Among them is a tostone press. “You can find them for $5 in any supermarket with a Latin section,” he says. “I made one you’d want to hang on your wall or keep on your countertop.” When a request for a bread lame (pronounced lahm) came from one of his 22,000 Instagram followers, Bailey CAMPFIRE WOODWORKS Rahway campfirewoodworks.com had to google, “What’s a bread lame?” Since making one for that customer, he estimates he’s made about 100 of the bread-scoring devices. His most requested items are one-ofa-kind display cases for collections such as military medals and presidential pins. Large items including tables, carts and stools are also made for clients in and around New Jersey, he says. Bailey’s latest endeavors are signature product lines incorporating his favorite features: inlaid brass, the graceful curve of a serving board, or ergonomically friendly handles—just the kinds of ideas you’d expect to be sparked sitting around a roaring campfire. —Monica Cardoza PHOTOGRAPHS: COURTESY OF CAMPFIRE WOODWORKS 22 SEPTEMBER 2022 NJMONTHLY.COM
