About Will
Woodworking has been a central part of my life since childhood, deeply rooted in my experiences on a dairy farm in Wisconsin. Growing up, I learned the value of self-sufficiency as I crafted everything from treehouses to unique farm toys that were not available for purchase. These early projects laid the groundwork for the items I create today. My father and uncles were my role models, demonstrating how foresight and hard work could turn ideas into reality. Additionally, I was fortunate to have a retired neighbor who was a skilled woodworker; I would eagerly bike to his home to watch him at work. His guidance inspired me to explore new techniques and fostered the confidence I needed to elevate my skills. After earning an associate degree in architectural technology, I dedicated myself to honing my craft further. The journey from farm projects to professional woodworking continues to shape my artistic vision.
Throughout my journey as an artist, I have had the privilege of selling my work to some of the finest galleries and shops across the country, so there’s a chance you may have encountered my pieces in person. My boxes have undergone significant evolution over the years, largely influenced by the invaluable feedback and suggestions from my customers. Each creation is not just a product but a testament to American craftsmanship, embodying functionality and aesthetic beauty. When you choose to purchase an item from me, you are not just acquiring a piece of art; you are investing in a unique blend of history, skill, and dedication. I take great pride in each piece, ensuring that it meets the high standards I have set for myself as an artist.
