Blacktail Studio is a custom furniture shop in Portland, Oregon, run by founder Cam Anderson. The studio states it "specializes in utilizing native hardwoods, salvaged lumber, and up-cycled materials to craft custom furniture, home décor, and unique gifts," working primarily in live-edge tables, epoxy resin river tables, and solid wood pieces built from Pacific Northwest hardwoods.
The work is commission-driven. The studio describes 95% of its output as bespoke, summarizing its position as "Exactly how you want it is all we do." Commissions are open: the contact page states, "If you have questions regarding custom order furniture commissions or other business inquiries, please submit the form below, and we'll get back to you soon," and asks prospective clients to include dimensions, style, and wood type for faster pricing and availability. The studio offers to schedule a call for clients unsure of specifications. Named project pieces include the Damascus Denim Desk and the Luthier Slab Desk.
Education is the studio's second and highly visible business line. Cam Anderson publishes instructional woodworking content and sells structured courses, including The Epoxy Table Workshop and a finishing workshop running 26 chapters, alongside a project blog documenting builds such as the restoration of a prehistoric mammoth tusk. The studio is explicit about how the two lines connect: "if you order a custom piece of furniture there is a good chance it will become an instructional how-to video." The company describes education as a passion of the founder's and the pairing as "a perfect marriage with education."
