Welcome to American Made Workshops. As a child, I thought my father was amazing. It seemed he could do anything he set his mind to, whether or not he had the experience or know how. My earliest memories of him creating works with his hands date back to around the late seventies. I remember sitting in the backseat of his car which was parked along the street of the bank which employed him. My father needed to stop in and was taking myself and my brother. As my dad started to reach for me in the back seat, he told me to be careful. That's when I noticed a leather hat shaped similar to a cowboy's hat which had been hand stitched by my father. Over the years he made hats, shoes, and belts from leather, eventually moving to other mediums. Branching out led him into woodcarving. My entire family oohed and ahhed over the first very basic wooden duck my dad carved, which today we keep to remember where we started. Right next to it sits a beautiful Mallard, the last duck my father carved. The bird is positioned in a natural setting and is shown scratching his head. The feathers are individually carved and inserted which makes some appear ruffled. This attention to detail with a drive to learn and create, has been the foundation of my family. My father was an educated man who wore a suit to work everyday until he decided to hang his tie and follow his dreams. Since 1983, he has been handcrafting traditional period furniture in-house for individuals and families nationwide. Much of the last 25 years has been spent meeting other craftsmen and their families. Along the way we have learned that they too have a story and a reason for continuing to create. My hope is that this storefront is a place for all of us to come together. A place for America's Craftsmen, great or small, to tell their story and to sell their products. It's also a place for you the consumer to find quality American Made items for your home or business. Items that are safe and well made. Items that have a story or represent tradition. Items that stand the test of time and can be passed down to generations to come. In instances where items are not available through inventory, please note that these items are being handcrafted for you and that lead times can vary from one Craftsman to another.
