The KnotWright Woodworker

In my nearly 40 years as a professional pilot,  I've chosen learning vacations over destination travel, as they inspire and rejuvenate me.

In that time, I’ve learned to sail, design, and build boats at Wooden Boat School; green woodworking with J. Alexander; furniture design and upholstered chair making; learned guitar making from Ivon Schmukler; bowl & pen turning; and NAF Style Flute Making. Yes…if there’s wood in it, I’ve probably studied its construction and learned how to make it.  

As I approach retirement from flying, and get ready for the next chapter of my life, I crave finally giving my other passion, woodworking, my full attention. Starting a business around this passion is the next challenge and adventure I have chosen. 

Wanting the name to reflect my desire for this to be fun and lighthearted, while also speaking to the nature of the business, I thought back to my New England roots and the ship builders of past - and the perfect name came to me……KnotWright Woodworking!
