Our Story
Larry McIntyre, Owner
Growing up I spent a lot of time outdoors. I hunted and fished with my father and uncle and generally enjoyed being outside. Fishing for Smallmouth in Maine and hunting in West Virginia are among my favorite childhood memories. I also learned countless outdoor and general life skills during my time in Scouting and am very proud to say that I earned my Eagle Scout in 1992. College brought me to West Virginia University. Following my time in the Mountain State I moved south to Charlotte, NC. In Charlotte I started a career, met the girl of my dreams, and got married. We have 2 beautiful children who keep us busier than we ever imagined possible. Despite the chaos, I wouldn't change a minute!
While my personal life could not be better, I felt the "daily grind" of a corporate job never quite fit my personality. In 2015 I started experimenting with woodworking, specifically hand carving canoe paddles. What started out simple enough has grown into a full-time occupation! I continue to explore ways to expand my product offerings without sacrificing quality and the simple practicality of making things in the traditional manner.
