At Real Craft, we build solid wood doors by hand, and every door starts at the front of the shop. This role is where raw lumber becomes the legs, rails, panels, and jambs that our craftsmen turn into finished doors. You'll rough cut, mill down to size, and feed material toward the gluing station, learning the shop's rhythm from the ground up.

If you're physically capable, willing to learn, and want real woodworking skills instead of just a paycheck, this is where you start.

Real Craft is a direct-to-consumer maker of premium solid wood doors and hardware in Gig Harbor, Washington. Every door is handcrafted on-site using traditional joinery and solid wood, for architects, designers, and homeowners across the US.

• Cut lumber for legs, rails, panels, window sticking, posts, jambs, and headers.
