Jared has been creating and making since he was a kid. 8 years ago, he began focusing on woodworking and slowly moved to building furniture. Using a combination of hand tools and power tools, he creates long lasting pieces by incorporating traditional and modern joinery techniques. Jared loves the process of creating all kinds of furniture, with stick chairs quickly becoming his focus.
