After getting my business degree from U of R in 1980, I got the idea to make a better version of "This End Up furniture", they were booming. So I started "Against The Grain Casual Furniture". I loved the idea of making furniture and it was a dream. Sales were good but eventually dwindled to the point where it was time to stop. Then I discovered the personal computer. So I started another company and was off again for the next 20 some years building, installing and teaching computer accounting systems. Then moved into programming for hospitals and various specialty companies. Time flies. I'm 67 now. But I always wanted to get back to my passion, making furniture! While recovering from surgery I researched "sliding doors" to figure out how to fix my pocket doors. Wow, what a discovery, "Barn Doors" were it. I started digging the foundation the day the doctor said it was OK. Thanks to my customers who made all of this possible!
