In a previous post, I shared how my husband had built a bedroom dresser for one of our children's bedroom. He is an extraordinarily-gifted person with many special talents. One of which is woodworking.
Catching the woodworking bug back in middle school shop class, my husband has been honing his skills ever since! When I couldn't find the furniture I wanted in the stores or online, I turned to him to get creative. Most furniture stores do not even sell solid wood furniture - it's mostly particle board and pretty veneers - with the solid wood price tag. After making furniture on the side for friends and family, he decided to advertise online and has found a following of people who (like me) want furniture made from solid wood. He keeps getting customers because he believes that solid wood furniture shouldn't be so expensive.
So, I will shamelessly plug his etsy shop, Penn Rustics, and encourage anyone who reads this to not be afraid to try and make things yourself! If you come up with a good design and make things the right way, don't be surprised if friends and family start lining up as customers! When that time comes, Etsy is a great place to start selling your one-of-a-kind creations!
