Chris Bradley - Elk River Knives
I have been fascinated with wood since the age 8 when my uncle gave me a box of thin wood scraps and a coping saw. In high school and college, I worked at a sawmill. After getting a degree in wood tech, I was a manufacturing engineer in the cabinet industry. Almost 20 years ago, I traded computerized machinery for a table saw and began my own woodworking business.
Steve Whitford - Whits End Wood Work
Steve Whitford turned his first lamp in 8th grade shop class. It wasn’t until years later when he was gifted a lathe for fathers day, that he picked it up again. Unfortunately, that lathe wasn’t the easiest to use so he put it up on the wall and forgot about it. Then one day, his wife needed something that required lathe work. He went to a friends house and used his lathe and fell back in love with the craft. He’s been turning wood into art since then.
