Katie “Bell” Williams, Lady Katherine of the Commonwealth and the tristate area, full of grace and pizza.

Originally from central Kentucky, Katie moved to Charleston in 2013 to study traditional building methods and restoration architecture at the American College of Building Arts. She’s studied many different areas of wood trades from restoration to new construction and settled into design-build custom woodworking. She enjoys the challenges of custom, one of a kind work, and the quiet details in functional art like doors and windows.
Jack “You can’t pick your own nickname, but wishes he was the Hammer” Bassett.

Originally from Florida (but we forgive him for that), he settled in Charleston in 2001. He grew up learning woodworking with his father, but detoured into music and philosophy before returning to his trade roots. From previously owning his own business to working for nearly every prominent woodworker and builder in town he’s had a lifetime of experience. After studying 18th Century tangential handrail carving, he ventured back into his original stair business.
