The maker's mark
Two brothers.
One mark.
We grew up in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, about an hour north of Pittsburgh, and we've been building things since before we were allowed to use the good tools. Family rumor says a great-grandfather was a real craftsman. Nobody has the paperwork — just two brothers who see the finished piece before they see the drawing, and can't fully explain why.
One of us builds in Raleigh now. The other stayed close to home. The same mark goes on the underside of everything either of us finishes.

At Cathcart Crafted, exceptional craftsmanship begins in the workshop long before a finished piece is installed in your home. Every project we build is created using professional-grade tools designed for precision, durability, and repeatable accuracy.
We rely heavily on Festool woodworking systems, widely recognized among professional woodworkers for their ability to produce incredibly precise cuts, tight joinery, and clean finishes. These tools allow us to create furniture and built-ins that not only look beautiful but are engineered to last for decades.
When professional tools meet thoughtful design and hands-on craftsmanship, the result is furniture and built-ins that feel truly custom. It's one of the reasons Cathcart Crafted projects stand apart from mass-produced furniture or typical contractor installations.
