My journey with woodworking began at a young age when I first encountered a wooden bench in my grandfather’s workshop.

As a curious child, I couldn’t resist the urge to examine the intricate details and the beauty of the object.
Over time, I developed an admiration for the craftsmanship and skillfulness required to create such a piece.
I knew then that I wanted to pursue woodworking as a hobby and eventually as a career.
