Joe Watson: Bringing To Life His Dejoja Designs In Wood
In this episode of the Good Neighbor Podcast, host Bob Blaisse interviews master wood craftsman Joe Watson who is transforming the custom woodworking landscape one piece at a time from his workshop in a western suburb of Philadelphia. You'll hear Bob begin his interview of this passionate artisan by asking Joe how he balances a full-time career with his thriving business, DeJoJa Designs—a venture lovingly named by combining the initial letters of his three children’s first names.
Watson's workshop produces everything from affordable $5 accessories to breathtaking $13,000 commissioned masterpieces. What makes his work truly special isn't just his technical skill, but his ability to translate clients' visions into a tangible reality. In this episode, Joe Watson explains how he uses specialty wood to craft "Whatever the client has a vision of," and brings that vision into reality, drawing from a palette of 75 different wood varieties to create his striking, colorful pieces without a drop of paint—letting the natural beauty of the materials speak for themselves.
You'll learn about Watson's emerging specialty in what he terms "animal furniture"—custom dog beds, memorial shadow boxes and his innovative "cage toppers" that transform pet crates into functional furniture. Combined with his kitchen accessories line, these practical yet beautiful creations showcase Joe Watson's unique ability to identify and fill market needs. Whether you have a vision for a simple cutting board, a statement river table or a custom pet furniture piece that blends seamlessly with your decor, you'll discover how DeJoJa Designs delivers exceptional craftsmanship with personal meaning.
