Rooted in Craft. Guided by Trees.
Welcome to Vital Tree Woodworks, the studio of Fred Jungbluth—woodworker, arborist, and lifelong student of trees. Every piece that leaves the shop begins with a deep respect for the tree it came from. Whether salvaged from a beloved backyard maple or selected for its unique grain, the wood tells the story. Fred listens.
With over 30 years of experience working with trees, Fred creates one-of-a-kind furniture and woodcrafts that celebrate form, function, and the legacy of each tree.
Many of the materials Fred uses are reclaimed from local trees he once knew standing—removed for safety, salvaged after storms, or passed along by homeowners wanting to honor a beloved shade tree. That continuity, from living tree to a generational piece, is what makes his work both personal and powerful.
