As a child, Jacob Beiler had a passion for wood and a desire to create. Growing up the son of a clock smith, he was no stranger to clocks, but even as a youngster you could see he was drawn to woodworking. The family had a small woodworking shop in a barn which his father and older brother used for making crafts and other small projects. Before Jacob was old enough to use the equipment, he was so infatuated with woodworking that he had his brothers help him cut out pieces so that he could construct an entire toy workshop of his own out of wood.
As Jacob grew older, the play shop was abandoned for the family workshop where he quickly made himself at home making crafts and toys which he sold to family friends.
As he grew up and became more skilled, the difficulty of his projects increased. His projects turned from crafts to kitchen cabinets, furniture, and in 2009 his first clock.
By 2011, Jacob was out of school and was working for a high-end cabinet maker building custom cabinets. He started Unique Wood Creation as a side business where he combined his passion of woodworking with his knowledge of clockwork that was passed down from his father. The business bloomed, and by 2014 Jacob left his job at the cabinet shop to build clocks full time. By this time the business had grown to a point that Jacob needed help and more space.
Jacob’s brother Aaron joined as a partner in the business and they moved out of the family workshop to a 7,400 square foot shop where they still operate today.
