    Thumbs up buisness name

    HI, my name is austin dienner and this might be a very stupid question but i'm going to ask it anyway. I need a name for my woodworking buisness. I pretty much do whatever people ask me to, bookshelves, segmented bowls, cedar chests, stools, cabinets, checkerboards, stuff like that. I have been thinking for a name for quites some time now and can not think of one.
    So once again i need a name for a custom woodworking buisness. LOL
    anybody with any ideas please let me know

    Austin, we named our business D&N Specialties, D for David and N for Nancy, and Specialties because we will do just about anything "special" for someone. Our interests and our products are so widely varied--custom cabinets and furniture, laser work, turning--that it seemed like the right name for us.

    I could suggest:
    A?D Specialties (using your middle initial for the ?)
    Dienner Specialties
    Dienner Enterprises
    A/D or A?D Enterprises
    A?D or A/D Woodworking

    or go with something like Expressions in Wood, Inspirations in Wood, Wood Specialties.

    Just a few thoughts off the top of my head.

    Austin,

    My wood business name is "From the Workshop of Ron Brese" my plane making business is just simply "Brese Plane." I think simple and to the point is best.

    The Board Woodworker, was always one I thought of (and laugh about).

    Dienner Woodworking or Dienner Woodworks sound like winners to me. I read recently that people associate German names with craftsmanship and engineering. Dienner looks German to me, so that might be a good way to go. (Schreiber Woodworks, hmmm?)

    The Dienner Studio of Fine Woodworking?

    Dienner Wood Furniture?

    Dienner Woodcraft?

    Austin Dienner's Workshop?

    The Dienner Wood Shop?

    Anyway, let us know which one you pick! BTW, do we get a commission

    Well, you could always wait til the last minute and improvise . . . the sawmill I work for recently bought a sharpening shop. Earlier this week I was filling out a bid sheet for a job and realized I had to have a name for the business. So I made something up--its not like were going to get the bid, right?

    We got it, and I had to request they fax me a copy of the paperwork because I couldn't remember what I called it!

    Maybe that isn't such a good idea . . .

    Talking

    Dennis,
    I was thinking that it would be more of a Northern Boy name than a Southern Boy. For some reason Dandy just doesn't sound Southern. Remember Yankee Doodle Dandy?

    David, obviously you haven't spent much time in the South. We have names down there that you wouldn't believe--just ask Bubba!! When I was working for the Navy in a disbursing office, I had a sailor whose name was--swear it --Junior XXXXX, Junior!!! Where was he from??? Alabama!!
