I have the benifit of living very close to the home of the furniture industry in High Point NC and therefore have easy acess to all the large furniture hardware suppliers like Hafele,Richelieu and Woodworkers Supply. I also a good choice of local lumber yards both large and small but usually choose to buy most of my hardwoods from the local family run yard The Hardwood Store of North Carolina. I also ocassionaly buy whole logs from a local tree service and air dry them at my shop for use in my furniture

I am a one person shop that has been in business since 1994. I share a co-op shop of about 10,000sq/ft with eight other woodworkers and collectively we $30,000 in machinery, on hand is the equipment to everything from production cabinet work to fine furniture.
