WHO WE ARE

Timber Alchemy Gaming is a company founded on the appreciation of personal, hands-on craftsmanship that heightens both the experience of sharing and the joy of imagination. Founder and CEO Matthew Michalski gathered his close colleagues who shared these ideals and formed a business that could embrace this, making products with the goal of using the oft-forgotten beauty of nature to provide both quality gaming accessories and a nice reminder of the importance of sharing experiences together.


In Matt’s youth, he watched his father tinker with many different materials and always had a love for crafting with his own two hands.  Seeing how others enjoyed his creations, whether it was a delectable dish, beautiful carpentry, or a fun game night, he realized just how much a personal touch makes for a memorable experience. 

One day, his wife, Katy, bought a starter kit for a table top game. While setting it up they soon realized there was something missing. Something to complete the ambiance. Ever resourceful, they decided to craft it themselves. After hours of research and tinkering in his home workshop, Matt was proud to show Katy his creation. A wooden dice tray.

With good friends that were tabletop gamers who had admired his previous craftsmanship, Matt began to wonder if he could provide this unique item to others. When he talked about it to his friends and family they could see the passion he had and encouraged him to continue further. And so, with a lot more planning, a couple of friends, and a bit more practice, Matt was able to work out the details of starting his own business. Thus, Timber Alchemy Gaming was created. Working hard, day and night, the team made their debut at a small holiday party in a local comic and gaming shop. With the amazing success they had at the event, they knew they were about to embark on one of the biggest adventures of their lives.
