The Artisan
Randy Stockman
 The first thing I ever built out of wood was my toolbox and I still use it today. When that wears out, I'll retire.
I built that toolbox in shop class at Governor Thomas Johnson High School. I absolutely had to get into that 9th grade shop class because early on, I knew I wanted to work with wood.
I have known since I was a little boy tinkering in my Granddad's blacksmith shop in Mount Pleasant, Maryland. My earliest memories of childhood are sitting in that shop, hammering nails into pieces of wood.
I began to learn this craft as a teenager and have been selling pieces ever since.
Since then, I have made hundreds of pieces of furniture, cabinetry, millwork and other forms of carpentry. I even built my family's home using the skills taught to me by my father.
My favorite piece might just be the cherry high-boy dresser that is on the home page of this web site. I'm not sure why I am so fond of that one. I love to build furniture because every piece is unique and every piece has a part of myself in it. I promise, you will find no mass-produced woodwork from this shop. In all my years, I can't remember producing two of the same thing.
I take pride in every piece of woodwork that comes through my shop, and I hope you will let me create something specifically for you.
