Face Behind the Craft

Hello! I’m Matthew Diem, a (mostly) self-taught woodworker, born, raised, and based in Buffalo, NY.

First and foremost, I’m a Christian, a husband and a father. My faith in Christ is the foundation of everything I do, in my home, and in my work. ReDieming Creations isn’t just about handcrafted wood products; it’s about honoring God through the work of my hands and doing my best to serve others with both integrity and gratitude.

What started as a simple hobby, sparked by a love for building as well as the practical need for furniture and home goods as a homeowner, quickly grew into something much more. 

From helping with projects around the house as a kid, to a variety of projects in scouting while working toward the rank of Eagle Scout, building, creating and working with my hands has always been a large part of my life. In late 2020, I was blessed with enough space to build out a dedicated woodshop, and that’s when things truly shifted. With more time, better tools, and a growing vision, this craft became a genuine passion.

Since then, I’ve created everything from small, everyday items like cutting boards and coasters to home décor. I have even built some furniture pieces, some cabinetry and have simply continued to learn and grow in this craft. What I love most is crafting pieces that are both beautiful and practical; items meant to be used, to transform a space, to be enjoyed with the hope of being passed down no matter the size or application.

When I’m not in the shop, you’ll likely find me spending time with my family, spending time outdoors, enjoying a broad range of music, or probably working on some home project.

 On my social media (Instagram & Facebook, soon to be YouTube), I share shop updates, projects in progress, process videos on how I make certain items and the occasional tool review; and yes, a few lighthearted dad jokes along the way.

ReDieming Creations is a blessing, allowing me to enjoy and grow in this passion, on top of my greatest calling which is to my both young and growing family. I do my best to restock regularly and keep my social media platforms updated, so I’d love for you to follow along and check back often.

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to learn a little about me. Your support, whether through a purchase, a follow, or simply sharing my work, truly means more than you know.

God bless,

Matthew Diem
