We both have a maker background: From one side growing up working in a family construction business building custom wood cabinets, garages, additions, and doing high-end kitchen and bath remodels and then transitioning to starting a small commercial finish carpentry business that continues to operate successfully; From the other side learning sewing, crocheting, beadwork, clay work, painting and many other crafts from childhood and perfecting those skills throughout life, having brought joy to many a friend over the years with some handmade gift. We bring all of this passion and experience to the table in our business!

History:

We began to take shape over the last few years as we struggled to look for something less grueling than the day-to-day environment of owning and operating a commercial construction business. We wanted to be a part of something different, and as a result, our business emphasizes curated selections of quality materials over inferior supplies, meticulous hand-work over mass production, and enjoyment of a family-atmosphere over rigorous deadlines.

Our first project in this new endeavor consisted of a handmade maple American flatbow, a set of Port Orford Cedar arrows with feather fletchings, and to top it off, a custom leather handgrip for the bow. Bow making has long been a hobby and a request from a neighbor for a nice handmade target bow offered to finally turn this hobby into a business. Leatherworking, however, was new to us, and, armed with a cheap starter leatherworking kit, we set off to learn the nuances of the craft. Needless to say, the leather grip was well-received and we continued to develop our skills with leather, moving on to handmade knife holsters and eventually to leather jewelry, which turned to wooden jewelry, which moved to wooden signs, to leather notebooks, to semi-precious stone jewelry, and the list goes on.

Over time we have also incorporated items and skills from our cultures and our heritages.

We realize that not all budgets can accommodate higher priced items so we also do our best to incorrperate items in all price points to make sure that we can have something for everyone!

We eventually realized that with our skillset, our only limitations were the imaginations of our clients and our own creativity! We take inspiration from everyday items and from nature. Our goal is and will continue to be to provide quality handmade products at high-value pricing for our friends and customers to enjoy!
