About
Officially started in 2019 in his Bucks County, PA garage, Maura James Woodworking was years in the making for Dan Gallagher.
After working in the construction industry as a skilled carpenter for 7 years following college, Dan transitioned into a career in law enforcement, allowing woodworking to become a weekend and evening hobby.
After nearly a decade on the police force, Dan allowed his woodworking skills to become a therapeutic outlet after what would ultimately become a career ending duty related injury. It is there that Maura James Woodworking was born.
Representing the middle names of Dan’s two children, Rowan Maura and Declan James, Dan began small, using his talent to make custom flags for friends and family. Dan quickly outgrew his garage and at the height of the pandemic in 2020, the business was transferred to shop space in Quakertown, PA . It is there that a steady stream of farmhouse tables, kitchen cabinets and wood products of all kinds are meticulously constructed.

He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.
He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.”
