Planeta Woodworking

Planeta Woodworking is a Durham, Connecticut-based woodworking company specializing in custom wedding favors and gifts. Owner and craftsman Nick Planeta, an Eagle Scout and Civil Engineering student, discovered his passion for woodworking at age 15 and established the business in 2018. The company crafts personalized cutting boards, charcuterie boards, reception signs, cribbage boards, and custom gifts for couples. Nick works directly with couples to design pieces that reflect their unique love story, operating under the slogan "You Name It, I'll build it!" All boards are made from USA-sourced lumber and treated with a three-step finishing process: food-grade mineral oil, butcher block conditioning, and heat-treated wax conditioning. This process creates a protective shine and guards against water damage. Planeta Woodworking pivoted to full-time woodworking promotion during the pandemic and continues to create functional pieces for weddings and special occasions. The company serves couples throughout the Durham area looking for engraved wedding favors, reception signage, or personalized gifts.
