My Story

Hello! My name is Jason Jones. I have always had a desire to create with my hands. I was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. I grew up watching my family run two restaurants and was instantly drawn to the kitchen. In 2011 I graduated from Culinary School with a degree in Culinary Arts and Management. While I am still passionate about food service and still working as a chef, I began branching out into the world of woodworking. The goal was to apply the same mentality and passion I have for cooking, into creating more permanent and functional works of art. Deep Fried Woodworks is the result. The mission is to provide people quality, one of a kind, handcrafted items with the passion and consciousness of a professional chef. I have two small wood shops at my home, one in the garage and one in my basement. I specialize in kitchen products for the chef by a chef (cutting/serving boards, hand-carved spoons, spatulas, etc.) I also make small boxes and some furniture. Most all of the wood I use is locally sourced, hand picked and of high quality. The majority of my products are made with old school hand tools. I really enjoy connecting with the wood in this way and adding a one of a kind, heirloom touch as well as preserving the traditions of this style of craftsmanship. Feel free to reach out with any questions or comments at any time. Thank you for your interest in my work.
