Craig aspires to be a bit of a Renaissance Man.  A graduate in Industrial Engineering from Penn State, he has worked for a number of years in the fields of medical equipment, product testing, and project management.   He is an avid wood turner as well as an avid amateur astronomer and astrophotographer.

Craig currently owns a  one man shop in his home, No Wood Unturned, which specializes in one of a kind items – both architectural and decorative.

Craig has studied Windsor Chairmaking with Mike Dunbar and Curtis Buchanan, and has taught several chairmaking classes in the Pittsburgh area since 2001.  Probably no other area of woodworking brings together an exposure to such a wide selection of skills as Windsor Chairmaking.  For this reason, and really for the sheer beauty and engineering excellence of a Windsor Chair, it is one of Craig’s favorite projects.

Danny Williams befriended a master builder of Appalachian dulcimers in the early 70s, apprenticed with him, and began building them on his own. This drew him deeper into West Virginia and regional culture and history, and led to work as an archivist, documentarian, writer, editor, and teacher. On a whim, he built his first cigar box guitar in 2015. Since then, he has put strings on a variety of hollow objects, including gourds, toolboxes, and coconuts, and has figured out how to adapt the CBG to almost any size or shape.
