David Stine Woodworking

I was born and raised on the land from which I now harvest the wood I use in my work. My grandfather and uncles were dairy farmers. We worked on the farm with our hands every day, doing whatever needed to be done: mending fences, harvesting corn, fixing tractors, chopping firewood, milking cows. My grandfather and father taught me woodworking.

We repaired furniture and fences and we built tables, cabinets, bookcases, and beds. I fell in love with it. I loved taking something so simple and natural-a piece of wood-and crafting something beautiful and useful from it.
