Who we are

TUSHKA Creations is a small woodworking shop in San Marcos, TX. We focus on creating each piece with care, precision, and lasting quality.

What we make

Cutting boards, coasters, trays, wall art, and custom pieces:
Skillfully crafted, just for you.

How we work

Each design highlights the authentic, natural colors of wood — with no paint or stain ever used. Cutting boards are hand-finished with food-safe oil and cream for lasting protection and beauty.

Our story

Byron is a craftsman, Desert Storm Veteran, and member of the Chickasaw Nation. Dorianne has an eye for design and presentation.
