Thoughts on the business

When we began building furniture we knew that in order to succeed we were going to have to be better at the business of woodworking than the others that try it. It’s been nearly two years since we tore down our first barn and began taking orders. We’ve come a long way and rolled with many punches since then. What began as a one man shop in the family tool shed is now a 5000 square foot building that continues to fill up one piece of equipment at a time.  Our first projects were for local customers for very little or no money. And now, this year alone we have shipped pieces to New York, Idaho, Arizona and a couple of retail stores locally. We began with a small booth in a local antique shop, which we decided to close, but now have booths in a number store across north Georgia. People have begun using us as resource as well. We have gotten calls from people wanting to know how much their barn may be worth, or wanting information on reclaimed wood.  

Now it’s time to move forward again. We have taken a dive into the deep end of the proverbial pool by filing our paperwork to become an LLC in the state of Georgia.  We also have been developing new marketing and advertising strategies.  Both strategies having to be unique and creative as the bulk of our funds are tied up in upgrading the shop. Our objective is to eventually move up the ranks from a micro business to a small business stature. Our end goal remains the same, to enable everyone to have a high quality piece of reclaimed wood in their home or office. In order to reach our goal we must remain creative and maintain the ambition and drive that has taken us this far.
