  • 30 Years and Counting

    This year Sandy and I are celebrating thirty years of
    marriage as well as thirty years of making a living together as
    Bradford Woodworking. We’ve come a long way since starting
    in six hundred unheated square feet above the cows in my dad’s
    barn. In those early days, we made a line of kitchen utensils.
    We’re still making some of those items thirty years later.

    Our growth into furniture has been challenging and
    exciting. What started out as a design for a single stool grew into an
    entire line of chairs, stools, benches, beds and more. During the years
    of working to grow the business, we also were able to watch the growth
    of our two children, both of which have chosen careers in the arts. Our
    son Adam is a sculptor and painter, and our daughter Lydia is a textile
    artist. We’ve been blessed in life to be able to make a living doing what
    we love.

    We are grateful to all of our many friends and clients who
    have supported us through our first thirty years. We’re looking forward
    to our future and many more years of being able to design and build
    furniture on our farm home.
