Kevin learned woodworking from his grandfather when he was a young boy and immediately fell in love with it. He was involved with wood-crafting virtually his whole life, including framing and building entire houses, cabinet making and building yachts with Westport Shipyards. Kevin always wanted to run his own woodworking business.

A few years ago I (the lady of Lady and the Carpenter) proposed opening our own business by making clothespins as the initial product. Kevin thought this was a crazy idea but, after some local success we attended a Mother Earth News Fair in Albany, OR. The results were staggering; people lined up around the corner for two whole days to purchase our clothespins.

Our clothespins helped him fulfill his dream of having his own woodworking business. Kevin made many beautiful functional and artistic wood creations. In 2020 our Carpenter went to be with his Jesus. It was a big learning curve but, I decided to continue to make Kevin’s Quality Clothespins.

Our goal at Lady and the Carpenter is to honor the tradition of quality woodworking. We create little treasures that last a lifetime–handcrafted clothespins that bring back the joys of simple living.
