My husband Stanley and I met in the coal mines of West Virginia. When the mine we worked at eventually closed, we were forced to pursue other means of income. Through trial and error, we eventually found our calling when customers took a liking to the treenware we crafted. Only West Virginia hardwoods are used in our production process. Every piece is hand shaped, making every utensil one of a kind. All of our products are finished with a mixture of mineral oil and raw linseed oil. We recommend occasionally oiling our utensils, simply rub down liberally with olive or mineral oil and let sit overnight.
