Artist's Statement
We met while working underground in the coal mines in October 1984, but soon found ourselves out of a job one month later when the mines shut down. We married in 1986 and began our woodworking career in 1990. What started as our hobby easily turned to a full-time profession. Our ancestors, both colonial and shaker in nature, provided a wealth of knowledge and designs that have proven successful in today's kitchens. Many years later we find ourselves employing several friends and family members and offering over one hundred different styles of utensils. Our blessings have been too numerous to count.
