About

Barry Gorman began custom woodworking at a young age. At 12, he built a pine box-shelf, a simple excercise, but one that set his creativity into motion. By his early twenties, he was approached to make 500 collapsable reindeer for a department store. By his late twenties, he was working as a contractor and building kitchens for some of the well-to-do estate holders on Lake Champlain.

Today, his two sons, Chris and Matt, have joined him, bringing their own expertise to the family business. Chris builds resillient and attractive Viking shields as well as delicate and precision carving. Matt, meanwhile, has built his skill around the lathe, and he makes fine churchwarden pipes and other turnings.
