About Us

My name is Layne Manginelli and I’ve been a woodworker for more than 20 years. I was introduced to this craft by my father, a very talented woodcarver.

I am a self-taught craftsman specializing in woodturning and custom woodworking. Every piece I make is one-of-a kind.

My products are made with unique and rare woods which add color, shape, and complexity. The natural beauty of the wood is preserved in all my work. My designs frequently feature geometric shapes and patterns to add interest and make each piece unique.

I regularly exhibit and sell my work at craft shows throughout Connecticut. In addition, I am proud of the distinguished awards I have won at juried shows throughout the state.

If you have any questions or are interested in a custom piece, please contact me here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Who is Justin Mang?

I get asked this a lot!

Justin is my middle name. Mang is a tribute to my father’s workshop. When I put the words together with Woodworx, it felt like I stumbled on the perfect brand!
