About Soap & Sawdust

It all started at whole foods, I picked up a bar of soap and enjoyed the smell so much. Then I looked at the price...$12.00!!! I thought to myself, I can make this. Then I looked at a magazine and it had a basic recipe. So, I tried it out and succeeded. I created my recipe and since that day in May of  2015, I have been fine-tuning my recipe until now! Finally, it's perfected and to my standards, I can share it with the world. While perfecting my soap, I got into woodturning. It was so natural to me. So I decided to fuse the two things I love. On December 01, 2021, Soap & Sawdust was born!!

Who is behind the lathe?

That's me, David. If you read the story about how I got into all this you know a little bit. Here's more about me. I am 39 years old and am originally from Michigan. I was a bit of a trouble maker in my day, till one day it dawned on me, I need to head this off before something bad happens. That day at 17 years old, I joined the United States Navy. If you can believe it I am still on active duty today! This is where my high standards and attention to detail came from without a doubt. My promise to you is 100% one-of-a-kind hand-turned wood products and the best soaps made with only the highest quality ingredients. You won't find any cheap filler oils or strange chemicals in my soap. That's one of my favorite things about my soap, you can pronounce all the ingredients and know what they are, except for the Sodium Hydroxide (Lye), but that is a required evil. Otherwise, you just have a bunch of oil! Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to serving you!
