    Charles Durfee

    Author Headshot

    After a few years of cutting off the ends of 2x4s as a carpenter, Charles Durfee began working as a boatbuilder on the coast of Maine. Not liking the cold boat shops, he moved to even colder barns to make furniture and do finish carpentry. Several years later, he managed to upgrade to a nicely heated shop in Woolwich still near the coast, where he has built furniture and cabinets for the last 20 years.
