Meet the maker

Amanda Yoder was born and raised near Raleigh, NC. After studying musical theatre at East Carolina University, she moved to NYC to continue pursuing a career in the performing arts. Eventually, she settled in the mountains of her home state, where she and her husband Blake adopted a Victorian farmhouse and opened Cultivate Garden Shop.

Amanda soon completed the Professional Crafts program in Wood at Haywood Community College and started Coda Wood Studio, designing and making modern pieces with an old soul.

Her work has been featured at the International Woodworking Festival (Design Emphasis Finalist, 2022), Artfields (Exhibition Award, 2023), and the International Society of Furniture Designers’ Innovation and Design Competition (1st place, Student Dining Room, 2023).

Materials

We’re all a work in progress. The environmental impact of the furniture industry is, too.

This is why Coda Wood Studio works with primarily with North American wood species to minimize the carbon footprint of your furniture. We also prioritize the use of adhesives and finishes that are non-toxic and as natural as possible.
