Meet the dynamic duo behind Sawdust Sawdos LLC – Les and Amanda Sawdo! Proud Door County locals (or as Les humorously puts it, "locos" for sticking around during the busy season), this husband-and-wife team brings creativity and passion to their woodworking venture.

Amanda had dreamed of starting a side business for years, and when Les was diagnosed with a herniated disc in his back in 2024, they decided it was time to turn that dream into reality. With a little guidance from a great friend, they dove headfirst into the world of woodworking, investing in three powerful machines: their beloved CO2 laser, affectionately nicknamed Big Bertha, a diode laser, and a combo diode/IR laser.

Since November 2024, it's been an exciting journey of learning and growth. Amanda handles the design, lasering, and paperwork, while Les, the idea guy, crafts blanks for larger projects using saws and routers, and assists with assembly and packaging.

When they're not busy in the workshop or showcasing their creations at markets and craft fairs, Les and Amanda love spending time with their fur babies, kayaking, and working on landscaping projects at their home.
