Back in the fall of 2000, Sean made the move from Pennsylvania to Arkansas to be with Tamera. They’d met online—before online dating was “a thing”—and soon decided to start making candles as a fun side-project (and for a little extra income). After selling at craft shows and to coworkers, they realized the home-based candle business was messy, especially with their young son around. So, in 2004, they wrapped up that chapter.
Fast forward to late 2005: Tamera bought a simple name train cut-out for their son at a local craft show—a scrap piece of maple that cost too much and inspired a better idea. Sean delved into wood crafts, utilizing a gifted scroll saw to cut custom letters, signs, and shapes directly from their home. When the sawmill where he was working announced a shutdown, affecting over 80 employees, Sean took the plunge. In January 2006, he launched wood-craft sales on eBay and Etsy to help make ends meet. The very first order broke his saw—but he replaced it, fulfilled the job, and soon orders were coming in every day. The “shop” was literally his back porch.
By summer 2008, Sean had built his first CNC machine and relocated to a modest workshop. Orders doubled in three years, and by 2011, Tamera left her corporate role to join the business full-time—bringing her customer-service background and craft-centric ideas. Today, Craft Dealz has grown into a dedicated team of 15–20 full-time staff members working out of a 12,000 sq. ft. facility.
In 2016, the company adopted the name “Craft Dealz” to reflect the brand more clearly—and from there, it’s been full speed ahead. We’ve shipped millions of wood-craft supplies to over 50,000 loyal customers across the U.S. and into Canada, Australia, and the UK.
