Meet The Artist

Collin Henrie

Collin, a lifelong learner, was drawn to woodworking for its blend of art, science, and craftsmanship. Over time, he found that touch-ups and repairs uniquely satisfied his eye for color, love of chemistry, and expertise in woodworking. The challenge of achieving seamless repairs, where perfection is expected, allows him to work with precision and attention to detail—qualities he thrives on. He also enjoys the variety each project brings and the ability to complete highly customized work using a well-organized, scalable system.

His formal training in fine woodworking began in 2009 and concluded with a degree in Cabinetmaking and Furniture Making from Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology in Lancaster, PA. After nearly a decade in shop, field, office, and management roles, he founded Finer Side Woodworking, focusing on touch-ups, repairs, and installations of fine woodwork. Beyond the technical work, Collin values the relational aspect—restoring not just furniture, cabinetry, and millwork, but also peace of mind for builders, designers, and homeowners. He enjoys the travel and problem-solving aspects that come with on-site work, and the satisfaction of making every detail right the first time.

Touch-up is both a science and an art, and Collin is the best we’ve seen, so you are in great hands should you choose to have him help you in your kitchen. We’re confident you won’t regret that investment.
