Michael Crandall

Owner-operator of Possum Creek Workshop
(which in reality is just a one-car garage in swampy central Florida)

Michael is a native Floridian who grew up on the east coast before moving to Gainesville in 2007. He has a particular interest in using traditional hand tools and green wood (freshly cut logs) for both carving and furniture-making. He also feels very strange about writing this description in the third person.


Willow

Shop Foreman

As shop foreman, Willow always knows which task comes next and indicates this by sitting on the necessary components. Her specific areas of interest include boxes, bits of string, and gazing out the window.
