Katie Martz
Artist and Owner, Odonata Woodworks
What started out as a fascination for Nick Offerman and a hyper-fixated curiosity turned into a lifelong passion for crafting artistic, unique, and memory-making wood creations.
Katie's work embodies sustainable practices (every wood scrap gets turned into a lovely something) and a commitment to creating bespoke attention-grabbers.
By combining natural elements of vibrant wood and locally-sourced dried flowers with color, light and shadow, Katie aims to make wood goods that elicit a proper “F*ck yes!” from people.
Here’s to the pursuit of bold, lasting, and unique “f*ck yes” woodworks.
Introducing the
Odonata Signature
Design: Alice
Named after my beloved home and inspiration for this piece, Alice is versatile, functional, and most importantly, unique. Each signature design begins with a consult with me to discuss your space, needs, aesthetic, and wood selection. Then I'll find the perfect live edge slab for you and get started!
Alice makes a wonderful accent to any wall. It can be used as a windowsill or floating shelf.
Big Red
Big Red stands tall at 6' and 5' wide. She's made with locally sourced cherry and aluminum union jack patterned backdrop. It's a modular design that allows reconfiguration and expansion!
Vegvisir Standing Desk
This 30 x 60" black walnut motorized sit/stand desk comes with katalox cord management and purple epoxy inlayed Vegvisir designed by Odonata Woodworks.
Linden Tree Headboard
20 x 60" cherry live edge slab floating headboard with hand carved and filled epoxy inlay linden tree. Complete with french cleat wall mount.
Floating Shelves & Wine Rack
This is a very special project, and remains in progress. So far we've added 2" thick floating black walnut shelves with custom inset lighting, window trim, updated cabinet doors with black walnut trim, a new floating plant shelf, and a custom honeycomb wine rack. Breakfast buffet coming soon!
Live Edge Waterfall Tables
Out with the commercially produced, veneered and heavily engineered wood tables, Live edge hardwoods are in! These are easy to maintain and can serve as sofa tables, entryway buffets, or desks!
Tonka TWB
One of my favorites, this 24 x 48" black walnut and purple hearth herringbone coffee table comes complete with drop down side to store things.
James
24x48" cherry and inlaid purple heart coffee table with hairpin legs.
Branded Custom Work
Custom signage, charcuterie boards, coasters, bottle openers, and more! If you can dream it, we'll work hard to bring that dream to life!
Floating Console
Black walnut and zebrawood floating console with handmade amethyst drawer pulls.
Desks
Create the perfect work and inspirational environment with your custom designed desk! Need the right spot for your printer? Done! Cord management to keep your space tidy? Done! Want your logo inlaid? We've got you covered!
Maple TV Cabinet
We started with a floating 2" live edge maple frame and added 120 degree soft close custom doors. The curly maple islands are sure to stop anyone in their tracks. When the doors open, you travel into the Aurora Borealis!
“I came to Katie with a vague thought for a housewarming gift. She took that kernel of an idea and created an amazing piece of art that took the concept to a whole new level. Katie's choice and care for the beautiful piece of wood she selected for this gift shows that she deeply understands her medium, and that she is a true artisan woodworker. ”
