About Larry Hein

Working with wood has always been my passion.

I grew up in a family of woodworkers and, as a child, used scraps of wood from my dad’s job sites to create toy boats, skateboards, tree houses, and more. If it could be made with wood, I built it.

As an adult, I resolved to turn my passion into a business. I started Hein’s Wood Werks in Newport Beach, CA in 1978. For 25 years, I worked in California with fantastic and creative clients as well as some of the most respected designers and builders in the area.

Though my business was a success, it felt like something was missing. I decided it was time to move to a place where I could enjoy the outdoors and a richer quality of life. That place was Bend, Oregon. I made my move in 2003 and have been creating furniture and cabinetry for clients throughout Central Oregon ever since.

Today, my dedication and enthusiasm for woodworking are as strong as ever. I look forward to hearing your ideas and turning them into a reality.

Whether the client is a homeowner, designer, contractor or builder, I feel communication and developing personal and professional relationships, along with fine craftsmanship and artistry, is the key to producing excellent products.

    Patti Julber, Complements Home Interiors, Bend, Oregon

  • I love Larry's work. He listens to my ideas, comes up with some suggestions of his own and the results have been beautiful and practical. Our built in entertainment center is beautiful and is now the centerpiece of our front room, complete with doors that hide the TV when not in use. When I purchased a new refrigerator that was too big, he came to my rescue in one day and removed the upper before delivery then rebuilt the cabinet within a couple of weeks. I have called Larry back for three jobs in my home so I would highly recommend him. Go with Larry, you will very glad you did, his pricing is competitive, his quality superior, and he is a easy to work with."
