Our Story


A carpenters son and his family

Adopted for Life

In early 2015 Josh and Laura Scheutzow started an Instagram account and Etsy shop solely as a platform to sell wooden craft pieces and furniture to raise money for their upcoming domestic adoption. A Carpenter's Son was born. Josh and Laura always wanted a large family. They were blessed to have have two biological sons, but unfortunately they were unable to get pregnant again. That struggle turned into a beautiful redemptive story that led the Scheutzow's to begin the process of adopting. Working hard to use the woodworking business to offset the domestic adoption fees, their Etsy shop and Instagram following (@a_carpenters_son) exploded. They worked with a local agency Choice Network and in December of 2015, their 3rd son was born. Since then their family has continued to grow and they have four wonderful boys in their family.

Continuing for a Cause

The way that the community surrounded The Scheutzow’s and their small business was incredible and it launched ACS into a position to meet the need of quality, custom furniture for both commercial and residential spaces. From where it started with Josh making cutting boards in their garage to now a team of 10, ACS has become the best choice for custom furniture. Growing every day in their craft and skill, the team is expanding and building the highest quality furniture for clients all across the country.

ACS continues to regularly support local organizations, adoption agencies, foster families and non profits that help support women and children in need in Columbus and beyond.

More than anything, we build pieces of furniture that help bring people together.
