Pap's Shop Woodworking
My Father-in-Law and his brother, Walt, have been woodworking for several years. Walt has a shop in Eastern Kentucky where he does hand caning of chairs as well as the woodworking. The bark bottom chairs they make have bark that Walt collected in Eastern Kentucky. He hand strips the bark and then weaves the stool and chair bottoms. Fortunately, I am lucky enough to get some of their creations!!!
