Welcome to
Pryorville Woodcraft!

Hi, I’m Chris Pryor.

I’ve spent most of my life working with wood. In fact, I even built the home my wife and I live in. Creating with my hands has always been how I bring ideas to life and how I show care for the people around me.

​

Over the years, I found that combining my love of working with wood and photography allowed me to create something especially meaningful — engraved keepsakes that preserve memories in a lasting and tangible way.

​

Many of the pieces I create come from moments that matter deeply to people. Often, they are photos of beloved pets, family members, or places that hold special meaning. I understand how important those memories are, and I treat every piece with the care it deserves.

​

Each photo is handled individually. There is no single setting or shortcut that works for every image, so I carefully prepare and refine each one to make sure the engraving captures it as beautifully as possible. I also send a mockup before engraving and share a short video of the piece being created so you can be part of the process.

​

For me, this work is about more than making something beautiful. It’s about helping people hold on to memories that matter.

​

My wife and I have been married for 45 years, and animals have always been part of our home. Today, we share it with two cats who like to sleep beside us and a dog named Bailey, who is my constant companion in the shop. That love for animals naturally finds its way into many of the pieces I create.

​

Whether I’m engraving a meaningful photo or crafting another wood piece, my goal is always the same: to create something thoughtful, lasting, and worthy of the story behind it.
