Jim & Tammy McNamara
There’s a family behind the finish.
JTM is Jim and Tammy McNamara, a husband-and-wife team shaped by more than a decade of woodworking, practical problem-solving, and a shared belief that useful things can still have soul.
From Chicago's South Side and surrounding suburbs to Morris, Wilmington, and nearby seasonal camper communities, you talk directly with the people who will measure, build, sand, finish, and make sure the result belongs in your space.

Made to be enjoyed, not just admired.
What customers say once a JTM piece becomes part of everyday life.
“This custom flower box was exactly how I envisioned it and allowed me to beautify a section of my garden that was otherwise missing a little character.”
“It blends seamlessly with my patio’s aesthetic, but it’s also functional and stylish. The wood grain adds a touch of natural elegance.”
“Mealtime has never been the same. It’s not just any bowl, it’s our bowl. Four paws up for JTM!”
