Born of Heritage

Where Mennonite tradition meets the art of fine woodworking

Anthony in the workshop

A Craftsman's Beginnings

Born and raised Mennonite, Anthony grew up in a world shaped by simplicity, community, and a deep reverence for nature. That influence instilled in him a love for nature and all things natural.

With no television growing up, table games and reading were the entertainment — nights spent gathered around handmade boards, learning strategy and savoring the beauty of carved wood pieces passed down through generations.

Under the guidance of great shop teachers at a small Christian high school, Anthony developed a love and skill for fine woodworking that would become his life's calling.

"I was never Amish but born and raised Mennonite. That influence instilled in me a love for nature and all things natural."

No TV growing up… table games and reading was our entertainment. In a small Christian high school, I developed a love and skill for fine woodworking. Every piece I create carries that spirit — the warmth of community, the patience of handwork, the beauty of natural wood.
