You're like, oh my god, that's exactly what it is. How did this business start? Tell me a little bit about it.
A Oh, yeah, well, when I moved to Asheville and moved into my home, I didn't have any furniture. I was a bachelor, recently out of college, no furniture, and And I started looking around for pieces that were interesting, but couldn't find what I really wanted, so one day I decided to try my hand at making some end tables, and they were crude, but I fell in love with the process. So over the course of many months and weeks, I built out my 300 square foot garage, started making pieces, eventually made some jewelry that I listed on Etsy, and that started my Etsy journey. Over time, people started requesting larger and larger pieces, and that brings me to today, where we make large coffee tables, dining tables, and ship them all over the country.
