Knock on Wood Wood is the brainchild of Loren Waldron, a New Jersey resident and inventor at heart. She came up with the idea before a road trip to Rhode Island.  On the way out she wished for a traffic free ride and found herself uttering the  phrase "Knock on Wood" - her fist searching for a piece of wood to knock on. To her dismay, she found herself surrounded by a sea of plastic without even a sliver of wood in sight. Instead she knocked on her noggin with hopes of avoiding bumper-to-bumper delays. As luck would have it, Loren sat in 6 hours of traffic in what should have been a 3 hour drive. If only she had a piece of wood to knock on ...

For years following that dreadful ride, Loren talked about creating "knock on wood" wood: a piece of wood that serves the sole purpose of warding off bad luck. Now that dream has become a reality.

Custom-made in Loren’s workshop, each piece of Knock on Wood Wood is unique in its own way. Loren brands, stains and polyurethanes each piece herself and hopes that the product will not only bring good fortune but a good laugh for the times that we need it most.
