Philadelphia Independence Seaport Museum - Limited edition lot of 125 handmade pens using salvaged dockwood from beneath the Walt Whitman Bridge. Available exclusively through the museum.
St. Peter's Church of Philadelphia - This 250 year old national historic landmark contacted me to give a second life to a historic tree they needed to take down in the graveyard. The work ranged from small bowls to a custom designed cross. Some additional pieces will be available on my site.

About John Greco, Owner of Greco Woodcrafting
Greco Woodcrafting, LLC was founded in April 2008 by John Greco of Sewell, NJ. What started as a children’s toy company now has a variety of offerings, including pens, hand turned bowls, and one of a kind executive toys.
John originally took an interest in woodworking after his 7th grade shop class. After several more years of shop class, he went on to spend his Freshman year at The College of New Jersey learning not only about woodworking, but also metal and plastics work through their Technology Education department. John later realized he enjoyed working with wood more than he would enjoy being a teacher, and finished his BA degree as a Political Science major. Despite the change in studies, John never lost interest in woodworking.
Today, John works largely with distinct and exotic woods. Greco Woodcrafting’s motto Built to Last the Test of Time is not only indicative of the heirloom quality of his work, but also speaks to the sense of design that is seen in all of the pieces. From the design, to the wood selection, to the hand rubbed oil finish- each piece is given individual care and attention through every step.
Custom orders of all sizes and types are accepted. John especially enjoys working with a customer one-on-one for custom work, allowing them to be as involved as they like in the design process.
Greco Woodcrafting has a corporate partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, making semi-annual donations to plant one tree for every five items sold. To date, 79 trees have been planted!
