Work History

Wood Worker (Business Owner)

Winding Ways Woods Inc.
05.2024 - Current

I am the owner and currently the only employee. I make custom wooden waslking sticks. Each walking stick is personally chosen by myself from several private locations up in the mountains in my local area. I am extremely picky when it comes to the pieces of wood i work on. The more twists and turns and knots the better I say. then rest of then process is the basic cleaning and prepping of each individual piece of wood. than it is just a lot of sanding and detail work, always ending with several coats of wood protectants. Final step is the same for each piece as well and that is crossing my fingers for a sale.
