Who are we?

We are a small, artisanal woodworking business located in the historic town of Salem, Massachusetts. Founded by a passionate individual, our business is deeply rooted in the love for woodworking and the artistic expression that this medium provides.

At Helionthus Woodworking, we are proud to be a non-binary-owned business, embracing the diversity and individuality that makes people who they are. The owner, Caroline Dames, has a background in healthcare and embarked on this extraordinary woodworking journey during the challenging times of the pandemic. The love for woodworking was born out of a desire for a creative and therapeutic outlet. What started as a hobby quickly evolved into a profound passion, and Helionthus was founded.
