Our Story

NOTE: Many scars but all digits accounted for.

I have been a contractor for 25 years and my workshop has always been the heart of my business. For the most part, I’ve been building custom staircases for 18 of those 25 years. That trade has certainly offered so many challenging puzzles over the years. Building custom staircases for so many years has given me exposure to a variety of skills and techniques. I’ve worked with lots of wood species with lots of different characteristics. for many years I worked with a very meticulous finisher named Kevin Deal. He gave me an excellent foundation in finishing (and how to do them excellently. 18 years of that gave me time and practice to get pretty good at woodworking. most of all woodworking gives you space to think while your hands are moving. I am very grateful for having been able to build and be creative for a long time (so far).
