Chris Oliver has been working with wood in one way or another since his childhood. In Chris' first woodworking business, CM Oliver Woodworking and Design, Chris gained local notoriety and was steadily becoming an area choice for high-end one of a kind furniture, design and restoration. In spite of growing success, Chris moved to an alternate area of wood construction and design. Combining his love of music and woodworking Chris now offers stringed instrument restoration, repair, design and construction. Chris' current guitars are deep with clarity and power for Bluegrass and acoustic musicians while his mandolins sing out the Old Time sounds. Chris has studied various other stringed instrument styles including Celtic style flat back mandolins and OM finger style guitars and plans to include these in his repertoire in the next year. While respecting traditional design and techniques, Chris pushes the status quo to create visually unique and beautifully voiced instruments.

Although currently involved in the construction of a new shop in which to operate Infinity Luthiers, Chris still finds time to build and restore instruments and attend some festivals and local music events. The new shop will house all of Infinity Luthiers' services and products. Restoration and repair services directed and, in many cases, completed by Chris, will be offered as well as Chris' own line of hand-built instruments and high-end consignment.

We thank you for your patience during this transition and hope to provide even greater products and service when the new location has opened for business.

Together we can take your ideas and create an instrument that sounds as good as it looks.

Contact us today to begin the journey of your new hand-built Infinity Guitar, Mandolin or other stringed instrument.
