Joe Compton Woodworking

I sold my first pieces of woodworking when I was 12 years old, some very poorly turned toothpick holders for my family’s store in Gatlinburg Tennessee. Twenty two years later I decided it made sense to make woodworking a career, or a vocation, or just a way to make a living.

I love what I do. I love that my father, my uncles, my grandfather, my great uncles all made a living the same way I do. I love the wood, I love the people.

This is what I was meant to do.
