About WoodWorks by Clint

Veteran-Owned Custom Woodworking in Northeast Missouri

WoodWorks by Clint was founded from a lifelong passion for precision, craftsmanship, and integrity. I’m Clint Parks, a U.S. Air Force veteran and custom woodworker creating unique hardwood pieces from my shop in Northeast Missouri.

After graduating high school in 2000, I joined the U.S. Air Force with one mission — to become a pilot. My decade of active-duty service, shaped by the events of 9/11, instilled discipline, focus, and a commitment to excellence that defines every project I take on today. For four of those years, I served as a military weapons and leadership instructor, developing the same attention to detail and pride in craftsmanship that now drive my woodworking.

When my service ended, I pursued my aviation dream — but service-connected disabilities shifted my path. In 2020, I discovered a new passion that felt just as purposeful: woodworking. Starting with a modest “woodworker’s starter kit,” I built my own small shop and began honing my craft — one project, one skill, and one board at a time.

Today, WoodWorks by Clint specializes in custom hardwood furniture and designs that blend artistry with precision. Each piece is designed with care, built with purpose, and finished to last — reflecting the same integrity and dedication I carried in uniform.
