Thanks for visiting Wood Studio's
website and allowing us to introduce
our work and ourselves. Wood
Studio is a family-owned and
operated Nashville based company
that opened in 1987 in Decatur,
AL, and moved to Nashville,
TN in 1996. We are a custom
woodworking design and fabrication
service, specializing in small-
to medium-scale residential
and commercial projects. We
work with design professionals
and individuals to produce a
broad range of high quality
cabinets, furniture and furnishings
that are both aesthetically
appropriate and technically
functional.
We must introduce the Cabinetmaker's
Sidekick, one of our most valued
tools. This handy invention
was devised and created by Randy
for anyone who carries a tape
measure and pencil. We feel
certain after having a Cabinetmaker's
Sidekick on your side you will
discover just how helpful this
little device is.
We hope you enjoy our work,
and we look foward to working
with you. If you have a question
about anything seen on the web
page, or would like more information
concerning a certain piece,
please contact Randy, Keith
or Dylan for a free consultation. |

Randy
Cochran
Randy studied industrial design, marketing
and business at Auburn University, where he
received a degree in business administration.
He was privileged to study with instructors
whose professors were from The Bauhaus School
of Design.
Randy has worked in design and fabrication
of woodworking machines, telephones, industrial
metal working machinery, electronic equipment,
custom cabinets, commissioned fine furniture
and museum exhibits.
These varied and divergent technical fields
allow him to draw from a broad range of information
to achieve the goals of his work.
Randy, a founding member of the Furniture
Society, built his first piece of commissioned
work in 1973. From 1972 until 1986 Randy honed
his skills as he worked part time as a woodworker.
In 1986, Randy opened the doors to Wood Studio
and has since worked every day to grow our
small family business. |

Keith
Cochran
Keith filled all of his high school electives
with art classes, worked part time with his
father at Wood Studio, and while still in
high school, began working in the custom car
audio business. For several years he worked
throughout the Southeast designing and fabricating
custom car audio and security systems for
individuals and major manufacturers. Many
cars toured nationally and competed in sanctioned
car audio events.
Keith earned his bachelor's degree from the
College of Industrial Design at Auburn University
where he won several "Best of Studio"
awards and designed and constructed his own
Kevlar canoe. After graduation, he relocated
to the banks of the Caloosahatchee River near
Sanibel Island in southwest Florida. He was
employed as a custom boat builder for Hugh
Saint, Inc., where he constructed classic
mahogany runabouts.
Keith's skills include woodworking, fiberglass
construction and fabrication, vacuum forming,
welding, metalworking, casting, plastic fabrication,
painting and wood finishing, rendering and
model making. He recently moved to Houston,
Alabama, located on the banks of beautiful
Lewis Smith Lake within the Bankhead National
Forest. He commutes to Nashville to work with
his father and brother. |

Dylan
Cochran
Dylan has enjoyed many aspects of artistic
design from an early age. While in high school,
he won awards in several area art contests.
He was voted most talented of his sophomore
class and most environmental in his junior
class, and was a member of the National Honor
Society. He also worked part time for his
father at Wood Studio.
Dylan went on to graduate from Auburn University
with a Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife
Management. He participated in the Cooperative
Education Program where he worked as an air
quality technician for an environmental consulting
firm. He worked one summer as an intern for
the Council on Environmental Quality, Executive
Office of the President, in Washington, D.C.
Most recently, Dylan was living in Boulder,
Colorado, where he worked as an electrical
apprentice in order to afford opportunities
for travel and outdoor adventure. Having realized
no personal satisfaction in the workplace,
Dylan was convinced to move back east to participate
in the family partnership. |
