Indianapolis woodworkers Garrett Henry and Ty Ramsey are in the business of creating functional and sustainable art. From fine walnut desks and full cherry cabinetry build-outs to modern takes on classic chef’s tools, every piece is custom-made and beautifully imagined.

The duo founded Beyond Makers in 2017, and later set up shop at Pogue’s Run Business Park in east Indy. Thanks to their background in the arts, Garrett and Ty bring a high level of detail, eye for design, and uncompromising quality to all their work. (Read: No filler material, just real, local hardwood.) Each piece is built to last — and it shows.

Ready to start buying furniture you’ll keep forever? If you’re looking for something unique (no project is too big or too small) or just want to awe in fine craftsmanship, schedule a tour of the workshop to see what Beyond Makers can do for you.
