Liberty Leather and Woodworks began in 2010 as part of another business. When that business closed in 2013, Steven and Amber Neill kept creating leather and wood products from a small home shop.

By the end of 2020, COVID had nearly brought the business to a stop. Then a severe motorcycle accident in 2021 forced us to set the work aside for the next three years.

After a long recovery, we returned in 2024 with a clearer focus on woodworking. Cutting boards, charcuterie boards, and serving trays led to handcrafted lighting, tables, home décor, game boards, CNC-carved signs, and custom projects.

As the work grew, so did our desire to control the entire process. We began buying rough-cut hardwood from local family-owned sawmills, then added an Alaskan chainsaw mill and a solar kiln so we could recover and dry local timber ourselves.

In 2026, we moved to two acres in Perrin, Texas, and began building Liberty Homestead—a place where the woodshop, sawmill, gardens, greenhouse, and orchard can grow together.

The move also gave Liberty Woodworks room to expand around our MechMaxx SM-32 sawmill. We now rescue storm-damaged, dead, unwanted, and removed North Texas trees and give that wood a useful second life instead of letting it be wasted.

We remain a small, family-owned business. Much of what we build is made to order, and every piece carries the character of the tree it came from and the hands that shaped it.
